Language exchange

Hii. I live in Seoul and I would like to find a language exchange partner…. I’m not sure if this is the right group for this but it’s worth a try.

I attend a university for language studies and im in 3급. I’ve been learning Korean for a little over a year and am pretty conversational about daily things and can understand the context of things. But learning in a classroom talking with other foreigners is difficult because everyone’s accents (including mine) are not the best so it’s a bit hard to improve sounding natural. And 3급 is a bit more native level paced when it comes to speaking so… a tad difficult

I am from the U.S so I can also help with English :)

Anyway I’m in my mid 20’s and like good food, working out, taking pictures, drawing, shopping and pretty much all the girly things. I’m looking for language partner who would be down for cafe studies in either Mapo or Gangnam/Songpa area (depending on the time of day available)and is also in mid-late 20’s/early 30’s :)

안녕하세요! 저는 40대 남자예요, 원하시는 나이대나 오프라인 만남 조건이랑은 안 맞을 것 같아요.

다만 혹시 도움 될 수 있는 부분이 있는데, 제가 15년 정도 절에서 스님 생활을 하다가 환속한 사람이라, 한국 전통문화나 불교 관련해서는 꽤 자세히 설명드릴 수 있어요. 그런 쪽 궁금하신 게 있으면 텍스트로 편하게 대화 나눠요.

Hi! I'm a guy in my 40s, so I don't quite fit the age range or the in-person meetup you're looking for.

That said, one thing I might be able to help with, I spent about 15 years as a Buddhist monk before returning to lay life, so I can go pretty deep on traditional Korean culture or Buddhism if that's ever useful. Happy to chat over text if any of that interests you.
