Language.Exchange

Hey there, fellow language enthusiasts! I am a 50-year-old native English speaker, with university level teaching experience in the French Alps.

I have a basic grasp of Russian and I have an intermediate+ level of Spanish acquired in South America and in the maritime industry. I am ready to embark on a linguistic journey with you. Let’s swap stories over a ☕️ or a🧉!

I am budding geology aficionado, I am keen to connect with like-minded individuals for language exchange adventure. I greatly enjoy delving into books, such as geographical themes, the sea, nature and culture.

I have a passion for hiking and sharing my knowledge of the natural world.


I don’t think my Russian is good enough to hold a conversation as yet, but to practice certain things might be useful. I’ve haven’t spoken it for several years.

I just like understanding other cultures and peoples better, (with geography & history), in particular Latin America as I originally learned Spanish there. As such, Spanish sits top of my must-refresh list of languages.

Sería un placer para mi hablar contigo en castellaño, quiero mejorarlo. Buscando un intercambio (inglés o francés). Yo soy ex profesora universitaria - inglés.

Looking for someone with similar interests if possible.

Me encantaría ser más fluida en español y usted puede hablar con un francófono nativo. Debería ser alguien que no tenga miedo de corregirme, y que también disfrute practicando su inglés conmigo.

About sharing a love of language. As an ex-university teacher, this so true:

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Maya Angelou

As an ex-mariner,a philosophy that I value,(the same can be applied to languages):
A ship in harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.” — John A. Shedd
