Hello! I 22F am a current junior at a University in the U.S. and I am majoring in Biological Sciences with a minor in Public Health. For my degree, I am required to complete a 4 semesters of a foreign language requirement. Although I am able to proficiently read and write in Arabic, I can not conversationally speak or understand it very well. This is because I went to a Muslim private school when I was young and was only taught to read and write. In regards to my degree, I would like to test out of Arabic so that I can graduate on time, however, it is challenging learning a new language without having real conversations with arabic natives and speakers. I really would like to pair up with someone who can I can speak to at least once a week. I would like to learn more about arabic culture, media, and lifestyle so that I can finally speak Arabic fluently.

I am born and raised in the U.S, and can speak English very fluently. I am willing to speak over the phone and do whatever you require to become fluent in English. I have a fairly busy schedule as I am taking 18 credit hours this semester and have a part-time job, but I am open to commiting to meeting 1-2 times a week if your schedule permits. My goal is to test out of Arabic by the end of this Summer, so I hope to find someone who is just as committed to learning a new language as me! I promise to work towards keeping myself accountable through this process as this is for the benefit of two people. I know it can be hard to push through the challenges of learning a language on your own, but I hope to help in any way in regards to your language learning journey!

I would prefer to pair up with a girl for comfort and safety reasons, but I am open to talking to whomever feels would benefit from this exchange!
