Teach, Learn, Share

Striving for fluency in Spanish and to make progress with my fledgling French and Portuguese.

Knowledgeable of the workings of language, but am looking for more speaking experience

Have read a great many books and would love to talk about them.

Willing to speak in the native language of the host if I know it well enough.
