Hello everyone! My name is Ryan and I joined this website back in 2015 hoping to meet people from all over the world! I love the idea of getting to know about other people and their cultures, and I hope to practice and learn new languages, but in general just to have more friends to talk to! Nice meeting you all!
PS If I viewed your profile, I often am just browsing and may not really know what to say to start off! However, feel free to chat with me if you wish!
Requests
I do not really have any pre-requisites per se, but preferably if you’re interested in languages that I speak or am studying ^^
Language Exchange Requests
All the languages listed above I would like to learn. But the ones I want to learn most prominently at the moment in order are: Spanish, Cebuano, Hokkien (Xiamen/Amoy or Taiwanese or Philippine variants), French, German and then Norwegian.
It would be nice to speak to someone who speaks or wants to learn any of the languages above! It'd be nice to practice with someone and in return, of course I can help with English. I can't help too much with Cebuano, even though its my mother and father's language, but if you're interested in learning it, I would be down to practice the basics, and even improve it myself!
Hobbies & Interests
My mains are playing piano and guitar, playing tennis, watching videos, TV shows and movies, reading and more!
I like to listen to a variety of music. My top genres generally are Rock, Hip-Hop, Classical, Jazz and Indie. Movie, video game and show soundtracks definitely been occupying my air waves recently.
To name a couple artists that I got into the past couple years: AURORA, Pomme...
Favorite Movies
The last couple of movies I saw were Abre los ojos, The Truman Show, Dumb and Dumber and Coraline and John Wick if I’m not mistaken.
Favorite TV Shows
Like movies and maybe every entertainment medium there is out there, way too many I can think of to list. Bojack Horseman is one of my favorites.
Favorite Books
A recent graphic novel I read was Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, which I highly recommend!
I generally lean towards Science Fiction and Fantasy in terms of genre, but some of my favorites are not in those genres!
