Hi, I'm Nat! :) I'm a busy grad student who somehow finds the time to both learn French, and help you practice English & Español! I was born in the United States (Miami, 305 ayyy dale), but moved to my parents' homeland in the Dominican Republic & lived there from ages 4-12, then returned to the United States. In both countries, I took French courses. Having to juggle multiple languages and cultures fascinated me to them! I love languages -- so much, I dedicate my life to them. Well, in a sense. I'm a budding Speech Language Pathologist (Intern) helping people gain or regain language and speech in general. I love it. I'm interested in linguistics, and the neural aspects of them. I'm currently specializing my studies into bilingual language development. I'm not sure yet if I'll go into pediatrics, or into acquired language disorders (e.g. aphasia from stroke, TBI, etc), but I've been doing this for some years now and haven't grown bored just yet. Most of my speech/language therapy is done in Spanish. Sorry to disappoint, but I lost my Dominican accent ages ago. I am fluent in Spanish, yes, but my accent is neutral with vestiges of quickened Caribbean rate & dialect. I took about... 5? 6? years of French courses back in school, and lost practice. Knowing what I know about language acquisition, I'd love to give it a hand this time around! Currently, I use /r/language learning, /r/french, LingQ & Spotify for podcasts & reading, Clozemaster for auditory comprehension transcription, grammar book, AnkiWeb for spaced-retrieval vocabulary training, a French WhatsApp group for written conversation -- now I need a conversational partner to speak with!
