Ahora estoy buscando a alguien que me ayude a mejorar mi español. Solo mandar mensajes me ayuda mucho, pero quiero practicar hablar español si es posible. Normalmente estoy libre de 8 a 11 A.M. o después de las 23 P.M. (UTC+9). Te ayudaré con el japonés, ya que tengo un poco de experiencia en la enseñanza. Gracias

: Hi, I’m Rico. Nice to meet you. I enjoy learning about different cultures and histories. I studied English and French in the past, and I have a master’s degree in philosophy, specialising in French philosophy. Because of some health issues, my language skills became quite rusty, so I’d now like to rebuild them from the basics through friendly and relaxed conversations. I’d also be happy to help you practise Japanese. Please note: friendship only, not dating.

: Hi, I’m Amy. I love slow travel—walking around local streets, relaxing in cafés, and enjoying everyday culture—more than just visiting famous spots. My goal here is to find a female language exchange partner so we can enjoy learning and sharing together. By profession, I’m a certified acupuncturist with a strong interest in natural medicine and wellness, and I hope to study it abroad someday. If you’re open to sharing and chatting, feel free to message me!
