I’m an American and speak English as my first language. I studied Spanish in school for around 6 years and am able to read things at a more basic level, but my listening and speaking skills (particularly pronunciation) are lacking. I’d like to get better to talk to my girlfriend’s family, for travel, and because it’ll be very useful in the US. I’ve also studied Russian for two years although my skills there are not nearly as good as my Spanish.

My general interests are sports, video games, history, and international affairs among other things. I live overseas now (Bahrain) and so perhaps an overseas speaker would work better for me although I am flexible.
