Description

I am a high school math teacher living in Canada. I have a passion for golf, travel, fitness, family and dogs.

I am a native English speaker born to Italian parents (mom - from Sicily dad - from Calabria). I heard the Calabrian dialect, as well as Sicilian growing up and understood them quite well but never spoke it. As an adult I took it upon myself to learn Italian, mostly from books, podcasts and some audio apps/programs. I am around a b2 level, and understand it very well but still struggle to speak fluently, without pausing.

About five years ago I decided to learn Greek. My level is perhaps only an upper beginner to early intermediate level, estimated to be perhaps b1. I do have a rather large vocabulary in Greek, and have spent a lot of time learning words and some grammar rules but I do not have much experience with speaking it.

I would love to practice with others at a similar level to me so that we can help each-other out and remove the stress associated with speaking a new language. Italian or Greek, I'm always eager for the opportunity to practice. Alternatively, if someone is a local, I would be glad to help them speak english.

Hope to talk soon. Thanks
