Edit: It's been a while since I wrote this post, but I'm still around should anyone stumble across it and find that it piques their interest ^{_^}

Hello all. I'm 24M working as a manga translator (JP->EN) and an engineer in the electronics industry. In my free time, I like to study foreign languages, practice drawing, play with digital audio, read (manga/research papers), code, collect rare doujin items (non-H), play games (mostly indie, ex: Touhou, Rabbit and Steel), and help other people study foreign languages, among other things. I'm looking for people who speak Polish or Russian, with a more immediate need for Polish (I'm a novice in both). Due to time constraints on my end, the emphasis would be more on me helping you, though you are welcome to teach me too.

I may be a good fit for you if you like to receive highly technical and verbose explanations to your questions about language, or if you would prefer to use English/Japanese more than your own language (I can also offer guidance on German, Mandarin, and Spanish if such a thing would be useful to you). I like to learn about other people's hobbies, especially when they're related to art, animation, game development, or musicianship. I will be most interested in you if you view yourself as a craftsman in some sense and take the practice of study/research seriously, and like to talk about your own interests. I tend not to be a great conversationalist -- I do my best, but I will not be a good fit for you if you would need me to be in command 24/7.

I prefer to use Discord. I tend to be low-energy with inconsistent availability due to my work, but I try to respond when I can to texts and I'm often willing to VC or otherwise do some activity together when I have time. Personality-wise, I tend to be tired, aloof, shy, and a bit boring, but I try to be compassionate and earnest.

Please DM me with a bit about yourself and what you're looking for if you are 18+ (preferably around my age or older) and think I may be a good fit for you. I'll respond when I can. I hope I can be of some use ^{_^}
