Hello! I am a native US English speaker with over a decade of metalworking experience.  I am currently a machinist but I was a traditional blacksmith for 7 years and have been welding for just as long.  I have been studying languages for a while on and off but now is my time to become fluent in my target languages.

Update: I'm not looking for romance, nor can I help you get a visa.  I'm here to learn Spanish, Mongolian, and Polish.  Since I've gotten so many message requests that I can't respond to them all and also live my life I will only be focusing on messages from speakers of thoses languages.  No offense to any of you, you all have been great so far, but I need to focus on my goals.

I'm looking for like-minded friends that are willing to help me because I have a lot of questions.  I need someone to communicate verbally with in addition to my studies in my own time.  I also very much enjoy teaching and am more than willing to help you with your English.  I have studied English more than the average native speaker and can help you with pronunciation, slang, memes, poetry, humor, etc.

I can write forever because I have many interests, however in the interest of brevity I have put them in bullet form:

-Metals: Blacksmithing, Machining, Welding, and Jewelry
-Art: Photorealistic pencil drawing and photography
-Language and script/calligraphy
-Knot tying
-Repair and maintenance of machines
-Motorsports
-Reading
-Red wine
-Music
-Traveling and Nature

I'll continue adding more as I remember :)

I listen mainly to Metal, Electronica, and Classical music.  Occasionally I branch out to other genres however those are my main three.

I'm much more of a silly youtube video person than TV.
