HI, I'm Phil
I could probably answer a lot of questions about the English language, that a lot of people don't realize or know about.
Don't worry too much about what I want to learn, if you want to practice English, I'm your guy.
I'm also up late, so I probably work well with time zones from across the world from me. My time zone is US Central(GMT -5). I work at home, so I have a lot of time to chat.
I'm mostly looking to learn more about the world outside of the USA, and if I can start learning some new languages too, then that's great. I've attempted to learn Japanese, Korean, and Spanish, but I don't know or remember enough to make a proper sentence. So, you will have to know enough English to communicate primarily in English with me.

Hello! My name is Michael. I live in Florida, USA. I'm slowly learning Japanese. Whether I'm making any progress is a mystery. I love videogames. I mainly play on PC, and sometimes on the console via emulator.
I love cats. I rescue and help stray cats in my spare time.
I'm currently learning how to sew. I want to make plush characters of my favorites.
I'm not interested in romance.
Otherwise, feel free to message me. My main method of communication is Discord nowadays, so it's ideal if you also use that.

I am a retired Language teacher who taught Spanish at several Universities in Pennsylvania for 35 years. My son has moved to France and married a French woman and I need to practice my conversation skills in French. I travel to Europe every year and spend time in France and Spain.
I love to read novels and keep up with current events. My native language is Spanish but since I have spent the last 51 years of my life in the USA, I consider English my other second language.

J'ai trente-huit ans, je suis logicien, et j'habitte a Minneapolis, aux Etats-Unis. J'apprenais le francais pendant quatre ans a l'ecole, mais je n'etais pas un bon eleve, Alors, vingt ans plus tard, j'ai recommence.
Je l'ecris sans Google Translate ou des autres outils pour vous donne un vrai idee de mes competences en francais. Mes competences en ecrit et lire sont mieux que mes competences orale et ecouter. Si vous etes pretes de pratique votre anglais avec un "Native Speaker", et m'aidez avec mon francais, nous pouvons nous entraider.
Hi! I'm a 38-year old software developer living in Minneapolis, in the USA. I learned French for 4 years back in high school, but I wasn't a good student, so 20 years later I'm giving it another try.
I wrote this without using google translate or other tools to give you a good idea of my French skills, which are better reading and writing than speaking and listening. If you're ready to practice your English with a native speaker, and help me with French, we can help each other.

Hi, my name is Walt and I live in the suburbs of Minneapolis, USA.
初めまして。アメリカのミネアポリス 郊外に住んでいるウォルトと申します。よろしくお願 いいたします。
I used to be an English teacher so I can explain some English grammar by comparing it to Japanese one.
昔、英語の先生として働いていたので英語文法と日本語文法を比べることで、いくつかの英語文法の説明出来ると思います。
I have a variety of interests which include arts, politics, history, travel, geography, singing karaoke and the list goes on and on. I like jogging, swimming and going to the gym. I enjoy the company of easy-going and fun people and can share a conversation about practically any topic. I hope we'll also become good friends!
芸術、政治、歴史、旅行、地理、カラオケなど、数え上げればきりがないほど、いろいろなことに興味があります。ジョギング、水泳、ジム通いも好きです。気さくで楽しい人たちと一緒にいるのが好きで、どんな話題でも会話が弾みます。良い友達になれることを願っています！
I am only interested in language exchange with Japanese native speakers, and we could do it either in person (in the Minneapolis area and also as far away as Chicago, IL or Des Moines, IA areas) or on Skype, Line etc.
私は日本語を母国語とする人たちとの言語交換にのみ興味があり、直接会って（ミネアポリス近郊、遠くはイリノイ州シカゴやアイオワ州デモイン近郊）、あるいはスカイプやラインなどで行うことが出来ます。
My main goal is to improve my Japanese language skills to the point where I can easily get a job in the US that requires Japanese, so it would be most helpful if I could interact with Japanese language partners who could help me find such a job.
私の最大の目標は、アメリカで日本語を必要とする仕事に簡単に就けるくらいまで日本語を上達させることなので、そのような仕事を見つける手助けをしてくれる日本語パートナーとの交流があれば、最も助かります。
Last year I went to Japan where I spent 4 weeks to practice my Japanese and now I feel like I significantly improved my Japanese language skills, both spoken and written and, to make them even better, I'd like to find a partner who is as passionate about learning English as I am about learning Japanese!
昨年、日本語を練習するために日本へ4週間行き、今では会話も文章も日本語がかなり上達したと感じています。さらに上達させるために、私が日本語を学ぶのと同じように英語を学ぶことに情熱を持っているパートナーを見つけたいと思っています！
どうぞお気軽にご連絡ください。

Hello, I'm Armando, and I speak Spanish and English fluently. I like to read, play chess, dance, work out, and listen to music. I've been seriously studying German for one year and I've been seriously studying Russian for over two years in the long life pursuit of becoming fluent. I want to learn the language since many of my friends and former coworkers speak it. I live north of Seattle, Washington, USA. I love to travel the world and have visited 11 countries including Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Russia 🇷🇺.
I'm serious about learning Russian and German. I want to practice every day and need a reliable friend to practice even if it's just for 15-30 mins every day. Time difference for me is not a big problem.

I'm interested in life in other countries.
Also since I live in the USA, I would like to speak with French speakers as well.
I was born in Japan because my parents use to live there but I'm French/Croatian.
I enjoy learning about people's culture. I hate how everything is getting globalized.
