Hi my name is Catherine, I was born and raised in the United States. I am a teacher, I have been studying Persian for almost 2 years independently, and I began studying the language because I love the way it sounds! (Crazy...right...but true!) I am also interested in learning the Tajik dialect of Persian. I speak a little Russian, and a little German as well. My Spanish is functional, and I may remember a word or 2 from my Japanese class. ...but if you'll help me with Farsi, i'll definitely help you with English. I can use some help in Russian and Tajik as well, and would be willing to exchange help with English for those languages as well. I have also recently taken up an interest in learning Dutch. I enjoy languages and connecting with different cultures, I just want to see where things go!!!!
