About me:
Looking for a language exchange partner FR EN – senior edition, with impeccable taste for proper old-fashioned things

60-year-old native French speaker, still not bilingual after decades of heroic attempts. Time to stop butchering the language of Shakespeare in front of actual natives!
Current English level:
I fully understand the absurdity of Monty Python, I spread Marmite with religious conviction, and I reread Jane Austen (in French) while daydreaming about Regency tea parties (in English)… but I still need 5 minutes of silent panic to produce a sentence without sounding like a Victorian robot.
Goal: we help each other without taking ourselves too seriously.
• I’ll correct your French (even the most tortuous subjunctives and vicious gender agreements)
• You’ll teach me proper British expressions for me to cheerfully massacre
If you’re over 40, enjoy your tea with a thick layer of Marmite, love good wine, and can have passionate arguments about Pride and Prejudice vs Blackadder… get in touch!
No pressure, no homework, no school vibes.
Just voice messages, the occasional video call, and lots of laughing at our respective mistakes..
Tea, wine, or Marmite on toast first? Your call.
Your turn! 😄
Google is my friend for translation !

My main language(s):
French

I'm learning:
English
