Hello, I teach economics at a university in the state of Virginia in the United States. One of my hobbies is learning languages and I use Italki for conversation partners in my target languages of Spanish and French and that is how I became interested in being a conversation partner. I like to travel, run, read, and listen to music. I am easy to talk to and patient. According to your needs and ability level, we can discuss news events, cultural differences, art, literature, or economics. I encourage working on writing outside of our time together. I have particularly enjoyed translating songs in English to my target languages, but short fictional stories or descriptions of news events can greatly help your ability. I will allow the conversation to flow where you want based on your preferences. These lessons will be more open ended than my courses I teach, so for regular students we should discuss your hopes and goals for learning English and discuss how I can best help you meet those goals in our time together.
