I am from the U.S. I'm trying to learn Italian and have been on DuoLingo since April. I also have Rosetta Stone but I don't like it much. I really like OneWorldItaliano.com I've learned a lot from watching those videos from a language school in Cagliari. I will soon Skype with 2 people I've met on iTalki, but I am nervous because I've just begun learning Italian and it's mostly, "uh, uh, uh, uh, voglio di, uh, uh, uh, parlare, uh, uh, di, no, yes, di, la scuola, uh, uh." Mostly, "Uh" is my best word. :) I am lucky to have a great Italian restaurant in my city and the owners are kind to speak with me in Italian, but I am very unsure of myself. I really want to improve my listening skills. I was a school teacher here for 35 years and in retirement tutor students who are studying for college entrance exams. I am very good at speaking English slowly and clearly and would be willing to help you with your English listening and speaking practice. Plus, I'm old, so I'm very patient. :)

Contact me :) I am a native American English speaker

Hi, Nadia! I understand you. I've been trying to find language partner for 6 or 7 months. But I wasn't be able to do it. I advice you to find a community tutor here. It's not very expensive and very useful.
