I would like to practice my French with a native speaker as it has been some years since I have lived in a French-speaking country and used my language in a conversational setting. I only want to practice in person in the SF Bay Area.

Description
I need to improve my Arabic for academic purposes, but I also just love the language: I started learning a few years ago on my own, and I continue to study independently. I am trying to get better at writing فصحى, but the most important thing for me is conversational abilities in Egyptian and Sudanese عامّية.

Hi everyone! I'm a native Japanese speaker and looking for a English conversation partner. I was a nurse and a DJ in Japan. I've studied English for 2 years at CCSF but my English isn't improving slowly... My wife is American but she speaks Japanese! So I don't have much opportunity to practice English with native speakers. I really want to improve my conversational level in English! I'm a really easy going person. If anyone wants to study languages together please send me a message. よろしくお願いします!

I studied some German when as in college and have been to Germany a few times. I have a close girlfriend there but I do not want to trouble her by asking her for language help. It is not that kind of relationship. I am now studying German via the Internet but making only tortoise-paced improvement! One reason I want to keep studying German is to keep my brain active. I still continue part time in my profession as a psychologist. I was previously aa school teacher. I can help yo uwith English.
