こんにちは、初めまして!
I'm 21F native Korean living in Mexico (I spent most of my life in Korea, so no worries about my Korean skill lol)
I'm currently looking for partners to practice Japanese with long-term. My Japanese is quite basic, and I know only basic Kanji, but I am definitely interested in developing it and being able to speak it fluently some day. I am also quite fluent in English, so I hope that works as well in case we have a minor problem in communicating.
My ideal language partners would be the ONLY natives around my age (18—30)! I don't mind any form of communication, whether it's by text, voice message, or phone call, though I would rather keep it mainly through text due to lousy Japanese issues, hahaha. While we're having conversations, I'd appreciate it if you could correct my messages and suggest more natural alternatives whenever necessary. I'll be happy to do the same for you 🙏
Off topic, I'm not looking for love interests, only, perhaps, friendship 🤭
I will also help you with Korean: vocabulary, grammar (as much as I can explain), and pronunciation—anything you're looking for.
I'm teaching Korean where I live, so I believe that could be an advantage? 😂
As for the platform, I'd prefer to keep our conversations off Reddit, as I find its interface a bit inconvenient to use.
I do have LINE, but I don't mine any others, such as Instagram, Discord, etc.
But please feel free to send DMs to discuss which one to continue with! When DMing me, I would appreciate it if you could include a brief self-introduction of yourself, such as your likes, whether you are currently learning Korean, your goal, or anything else! I won't respond to any effortless messages that only contain "hello" or "hi."
Thanks for your time and attention!
P.S., I will possibly be using a translator for Japanese if I'm not familiar with some certain vocabulary or grammar rules, as I am still in the process of learning them. But please don't consider that like I am not eager to learn the language well. I am noting down every single word and grammar rule that I don't know so that I can keep track of them and study afterwards.
- Please do NOT DM me if you are NOT a Japanese native speaker who was RAISED in Japan. I am mentioning it specifically because many people who are not natives have sent me private messages, and it frustrates me quite much.
- I WON'T respond to any messages that go against my post. What do I mean? Those people who didn't read this post thoroughly. I know that it's long, but I consider it important so that we do not waste time. So, I won't reply to any messages or questions, such as inquiries about my Japanese level or a short message without self-introduction.
