Hello! I am from the U.S.A. Specifically, Bloomfield Hills Michigan. I am a high school student and and artist. I love animals and art and I would like to get a degree in computer animation from Ringling College of Art and Design. I am learning Spanish in school and I have been learning the basics since kindergarten but it was nothing in depth until 7th-8th grade. I almost failed Spanish in middle school but as we are required in my school to take up through a 200 level class I retook Spanish 100 my 9th grade year. My teacher and method of learning, completely changed my outlook and proficiency in the language and by the end of the year I had a solid A. I am currently in 10th grade and in a 200 class with an A also but I am struggling a bit more as I don't have as good of a teacher and the method is completely different. I will not be continuing a language in school as I need more art classes, and getting a grade is very stressful. I do on the other hand want to continue on in the language with the help of tutors and online pen pals. I am looking for people who can help me become more fluent and proficient in Spanish but also for friends and people who I can practice my Spanish with. Currently I only know present, present progressive, near future and preterit tenses.
