Hi, I'm Emyr and I'm from Cardiff, Wales. I go to high school to study history, French and chemistry and I'm generally a normal 17 year old.
I joined this site mainly to get some practice with French, but I'm also finding it just as fun to have a chit-chat with people from different countries and make new friends.

I'm friendly, fashionable and interesting and I'm fairly sure I can make you smile : ) Just take a look at my hobbies and interests and things, and I'm sure we'll get along great

Just don't expect me to reply if your first message is  'Hello XD', 'how r u?'... and don't expect me to accept a friend request if we haven't talked at all beforehand, 'cause that's just all just really awkward and rather pointless. And it also makes it blatantly obvious that you haven't read my profile at all.. Anyway... rant over : )

I am fluent in English and Welsh :D
I'm studying French in school- it's going OK, but I'm nowhere near fluent obviously and I'd like to get a lot better.
My German is crap... but I love to try and talk to people with it, just don't expect it to make much sense : )

Plenty : )
I love:

Wales and being 'Cymraeg'
Here's a little introduction​ to being Welsh by Rhod Gilbert... I don't like posting videos and things on profiles 'cause they look a bit messy haha, but this one's great :D   :
​
Bright green!​ (though most other bright colours are also awesome)
Mickey Mouse :D
Music, and playing my guitar
Shopping and buying nice things, and wearing them
Swimming and jogging
The summer, and cold showers after warm days
Freedom to do what I want
Chilling out and having a laugh with friends
Going to interesting places
Breakfast cereals- I'm eating them all day. I especially love Shreddies, though they're probably called something different in other countries
Reading up on interesting things to do with history, science, politics, the environment (basically being a source of useless information.​.!)
A good quote or statistic
Having crazy dreams
Finding my limits
