: I'm a South African student based in Stellenbosch, studying finance. I've been learning French since I was 14 and currently hold a B1 certificate. I'm looking for a French conversation partner to practise speaking and improve fluency as it's very difficult to practice in an English-speaking country. I'm happy to help with English in exchange. I enjoy chatting about travel, current affairs and everyday life. Looking forward to a friendly, consistent exchange!

If only work didn't get in the way :( Speaking of which, I'm a computer programmer by day (and by night). I've traveled with family in western Europe and in US & Canada. Someday I'd like to travel on my own to various countries where I can practise my target languages.
