Lansing, USA
Hello wonderful people of the world! My name is Silas, I'm 25, born and raised in the U.S. I'm half black and half Native American (Choctaw specifically, my great grandmother was born and raised on a Native Reservation and my grandfather was born less than 20 miles off of it.) I'm a fluent speaker of both English and my mother language of Chahta Annoฬฑpa, (Choctaw language) and having grown up in a city with a lot of Spanish speakers I was formerly fluent in Spanish too. (A goal I'm working towards is getting back fluent in that language again!)
I'm an avid reader, writer and nature lover with a great joy for learning (and practicing) new languages. I'm very warm-hearted, kind, patient and compassionate with other people and I have a big heart for learning things about other people's culture and customs.
I come from a very academically rigorous background, as I used to be a tutor in High School and College. I'm actually in the process of getting my TEFL certification so that by the end of 2026 I'll be fully certified at teaching English! (Another one of my goals is finishing up my Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering).
I'm a very kind, patient, open and accepting person, and if you reach out to me for help in learning English I'll do my best to help you! I have over 5 years of tutoring experience in English, so I can safely say I can help give you a structured way of learning the language and quickly improving your confidence in speaking and listening, and setting you on a fast track to near-native levels of fluency.
I feel like language is the doorway to the human soul, and for that reason I'm determined to learn and practice as many languages as possible. I've been doing language exchange for two years now, and I'm so honored to have met so many kind, warm hearted and wonderful people on this site! I never thought I would ever come this close to reaching my language goals in such a short period of time, but thanks to the friends I've made here I can proudly say I've made great progress.
I really have a passion for learning new things and making friends with new people and will always make time to talk to you if you reach out to me. Thank you to all the people who have helped me on this site! I'm definitely going to try to pay it forward to anyone who needs my help. ๐
If you have any questions about myself or my cultural upbringing, ask away! I promise you I'm a completely open book.
I look forward to learning more about you and your language soon, ๐
