Hi I'm recently retired and enjoy traveling, hiking, jogging, reading, getting to know people, casual cooking. Since I live in California, many people are native Spanish speakers, and we are close to Mexico, Central American, and South American countries and many of these speak Spanish. Since I am spending more time traveling, I would like to improve my Spanish. I have also started to learn Italian since I also like to travel to Italy and so would also like to improve my Italian as well

My first language is Polish, but having lived in the US for over 50 yrs my English proficiency is at the native level. I also speak many other languages. Started to learn Turkish about 5 years ago. Amerika'da doğmamış olmama rağmen bu kadar uzun süre burada yaşadıktan sonra anadili İngilizce olan herkes kadar İngilizce de bildiğimi düşünüyorum.

Sono una pensionata in California e mi piace di viaggiare in Italia. Ho preso tanti classe in italiano ma non parlo molto bene. Credo che parlando con un italiano/a sarebbe buonissimo per imparare meglio.
