I am looking for both a language teacher and language exchange partners. In terms of language exchanges, I would prefer to engage in casual conversations about work, culture, politics, or current events, but I am also open to more structured dialogues to practice certain grammatical concepts or syntax. I am an attorney from Chicago, Illinois, United States, and I would like to learn Spanish so that I can assist Spanish-speaking individuals with their legal problems. I have a wide array of interests, including law, public policy, current events, politics, literature, as well as bicycling, camping, and hiking. I am also interested in the French language, because I am planning a trip to France later this year, and because I simply like learning new languages!
