Hey! 24F in EST. I'm Native/Fluent in English. I did a lot of classroom study of Spanish growing up (and doing Duolingo now), so not an absolute beginner, but recently started refreshing what I knew as a kid and I'm practicing constantly to become more fluent. I thought having someone to talk to would be nice! I want to immerse myself in it until it just rolls off my tongue and I can have everyday conversations about almost anything in Spanish (as I am considering moving). I also definitely want to learn Portuguese as well! (So big plus if you know both, especially if you're living or have lived in Latin America... but if it's just Spanish OR just Portuguese, still please reach out!) While I know a fair amount of Spanish, I'm just starting out in Portuguese on Duolingo, so I understand what a lot of the words mean seeing them written out (as so far it seems similar to Spanish), but I always butcher the Portuguese pronounciations :'D .... I would be interested in talking approximately daily or every other day btw! As a final note, I also might be interested in learning Chinese, but it is a lesser priority for me right now. Extreme beginner for that one. I'm not used to doing this kind of thing so it might take some trial and error to see which way works best for both of our learning! (I have worked a lot in education before, just not in something language-related.)

• Quick About Me: I have a math degree and a little bit of techie skills, I love animals (I have dogs, aquariums, and kind of in between vegetarian and vegan), I like playing the piano and singing, and I love hanging out with people. Occasionally, I draw as well. Oh, and I LOVE reading nonfiction! :3 I primarily use Discord, btw, and would like to do a mix of calls and texts. Looking forward to meeting you!!

Edit: I'm open to more than one person to practice learning languages with!

Edit 2: Sorry for late responses, a lot more people contacted me than I expected haha so still trying to reach out to people, or if you don't hear from me now I might still come back to this post in the future if I need more people to practice with too. c:
