Luna
Main Subject Category : Arts & Humanities
Goal : Personal development
Preferred language : English
Level of Knowledge : Some knowledge
Preferred study time : Evening
Study Buddy subject : Spanish
About me : Hello! I'm Luna. I'm currently in Spanish 2 in high school and I'm looking for somebody who is also in high school and is as motivated as me to learn Spanish. It seems everybody hates languages, so it's hard to find anybody at my school who actually wants to learn one. I'm hoping to meet with my study buddy once a week on Saturday in the evening or morning and I want to both teach and learn something from my study buddy (so similar level hopefully). Having a study buddy will motivate me to learn more Spanish hopefully because I tend to be a great procrastinator!
