What am I looking for on italki? I love languages, and I focus on French as a foreign language because I have studied it in school and now teach it to beginners. But I would like to strengthen my French conversational skills and also learn more of other languages besides French, probably Spanish is a good place to start since the languages are somewhat similar and I have a lot of students who speak it :) I know some but not a lot....so can you help me? My name is Laurel Archer and I tutor English/ESL and French, online on Skype and Google Hangout and locally in my area. My company is Cary Tutor in Cary, NC. (www.carytutor.com). I also have an ESL Conversation Meetup and we have monthly conversation meetups and other events that help non-native speakers learn about American culture. If you are local to Raleigh/Cary you can come! I hope to find some language exchange partners and look forward to meeting people on this site and finding out how we can help each other and learn about the world together :)
