I studied Spanish when I was 18 to A level standard. However, I haven’t really spoken it since and I’m now 60. So I’m extremely rusty. I am going to spend some time in Spain over next 6 months so want to improve my skills!

Description
I am retired after working 40 years in professional service firms. I am not a natural linguist, but I have always wanted to speak a second language. I now have the time to apply myself to learning a language and it is supposed to be good activity for the brain. I picked Italian as I enjoy visiting Italy; there is so much to see and experience, and there is so much history. The Italian people are also always friendly and receptive to me trying to speak Italian.

Hello everyone! I live in Hertfordshire in the UK and have decided to settle here. English is not my native language, but I am fluent. I originally learned American English, and since living in the UK I’ve been trying to adapt to British usage (vocabulary, expressions, and structure). I would also like to improve my listening skills by speaking with locals. In return, I’d be happy to help you practise Arabic or Spanish and exchange ideas about culture, philosophy, or other interesting topics.
Hobbies and interests
I enjoy walking, exploring cities and nature, and learning about different cultures and languages.
