Language.Exchange

I am a retired professional translator for German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese and Russian into English. All my languages, except English, are self-taught. I lived 8 years in Latin America and 13 years in Japan. I practice all my languages except Italian via the Internet every week. My wife is Japanese. My Mandarin Chinese level is intermediate. I can read Chinese, and speak it conversationally, but I need considerable improvement with the Chinese tones. I use dialogs and short essays created by me and my language partners for practice. It is a very effective method. Together we can arrange a mutually convenient time, preferaby twice a week for 1 1/2 hours for each session. I am a serious and experienced language learner, but I also like to have fun doing it. I'm looking for a long-term language exchange with the same person. I prefer a 1½ hour language exchange session, twice a week.

我是一名退休的专业翻译，曾将德语、法语、西班牙语 、意大利语、葡萄牙语、日语和俄语翻译成英语。除了 英语，我所有的语言都是自学的。我曾在拉丁美洲生活 过 8 年，在日本生活过 13 年。我每周都会通过互联网练习除意大利语以外的所 有语言。我的 妻子是日本人。我的普通话水平是中级。我可以阅读中 文，并可以进行会话，但我的中文声调需要大大提高。 我用我和我的语言伙伴创作的对话和短文来练习。这是 一种非常有效的方法。我希望我的伙伴能纠正或翻译我 的对话和短篇故事正确的惯用中文。我们可以共同安排一个双方都方便的时间，最好每周两次，每次 1 1/2 小时。 我是一个认真且经验丰 富的语言学习者，但我也喜欢从中获得乐趣。我希望与 同一个人进行长期的语言交流。我希望每周进行一次 1.5 小时的语言交流课程。
