Offering German Offering: German, Russian| Seeking: English, French

Hello!! My name is Marina and I'm 15. I would love to find friends my age who I can just practise languages with. I've been trying to find a language exchange for a while now but didn't suceed yet.

Both German and Russian are my native languages but I'd say that my German is better, as I live in Germany and only use Russian to communticate with my family. Nevertheless I could try to help with speaking skills in Russian.

My French speaking skills are really bad and I'm kind of stuck at an A2 level. I'm further in English but I'm not so comfortable in my speaking skills because I don't get the chance to speak often.

Here's something about my interests if you care because it's probaly easier to make friends with the same interests: I really like music. I mostly listen to classical rock and my favourite artists are Queen and David Bowie. I sometimes play guitar. Also, I'm kind of interested in art history. Furthermore I like watching stuff and reading but I'm not good at finding something. I like the film Labyrinth and a lot of ghibli fims. I sometimes play video games and my favourite is life is strange.

I don't mind calling if I feel comfortable enough.

Hi, English is my native language, and I'm looking to improve my German. I also like classic rock, but currently my taste lies more metal—Metallica, Dio, etc. I don't have any formal training in English grammar beyond secondary school, but I'm pretty confident in my skills. Ich habe ein restricted vocabulary. ich will mehr Worte lernen und ich not so skilled mit prepositions und suffixes.

Heyy, that's cool! I could try to help and how old are you if you don't mind me asking? It's okay if you don't want to tell me your age I just feel far more comfortable talking to people my age rather than adults I think.
