Hi there! My name is Sam. I work in the tech industry. I love languages. I speak a few, and I'm pretty much always working on a new one. I also love underground metal, especially if it's Québécois black metal. I want to take a moment to talk about my language aspirations and my purpose here on iTalki. My big project at the moment is Russian. It's a language I love and am very passionate about. I'm mostly here to write journal entries in Russian. I will be unresponsive to messages and I definitely am not into exchanging personal info or voice/video chats. Of the languages listed on my profile, Swedish and Norwegian are the only two I haven't actively studied. They're longer-term projects. In my free time, I enjoy watching Norwegian and Swedish movies, YouTube videos and TV as well as listening to music and reading in those languages, but you will rarely if ever see me writing journal entries in those languages. That may just be a project for the future.
