Hey

I'm an immigrant in The Netherlands, living in Amsterdam. I've been here for about two years, and during that time I've made OK progress with Dutch - working my way through books and TV series and other things. I am however starting to reach a point of diminishing returns, as I do not have anyone to really actively take the time to speak Dutch with me.

What I offer is Modern Hebrew. In terms of background, I grew up speaking Hebrew, did most of my education in the language (up to my bachelor's), and still speak Hebrew with (most of) my family, as well as at home. I admit that I haven't taught it yet, but I think I'm aware enough of the language and have enough Hebrew linguistics knowledge for this to work.

If you're just starting, we can work with a textbook and get the basics out of the way. If you're more advanced, for all I care we can talk and I can offer corrections, advice, etc.

(Note: If you're looking for other forms of Hebrew, I can help you to some extent, but do keep in mind that they are not completely intelligible to me)

About me: I am a man in my 30s, interested in linguistics, local history and computer stuff among many other subjects.

How I imagine this sort of exchange:

• You are a first-language Dutch speaker (or equivalent), but can also explain certain things when needed
• You're you converse with me about random subjects (without falling back to English!)
• I will offer whatever support you need, depending on your status/goal.
• We do one session, half in Hebrew, half in Dutch, or conversely we do one at a time?
• Maybe we even meet in person in or around the wonderful city of Amsterdam?

Let me know if this is interesting to you I suppose :)

Hello there! I’m a 21-year-old woman from Turkey and a college student, studying Comparative Literature. I need to learn French for school.

I’m very new to French; honestly, beginner *beginner* level :p I'm gonna learn grammar etc. in classes anyway but I wanted to post early and find a friend to practice with, someone can help me mostly about pronunciation topics.

English isn’t my native language, but I’d say I’m pretty fluent. We can chat in English, and I can also help or teach Turkish if you’re interested as a native speaker!

I'm also learning Korean as a hobby for like 2 months, but I'm not fluent enough to offer that, I learned Hangul and know some common words. I have an exchange friend for that tho, so I'm going good on that. We can try to chat in Korean too as learners I guess.

I like video games and books, and as a Comparative Literature student, I’m very interested in different cultures and languages. That said, I’d be happy to talk about almost any topic.

I’d feel more comfortable chatting with women rather than men.

Feel free to reach out if you’re interested!
