Hello, I am an Artist (poet, composer, sound designer, draughtsman, painter); Biologist by profession and love; and amateur Egyptologist, Geologist and Linguist. Due to the latter, living, dead and extinct languages exert much fascination over me.

Learning is one of the keys to the meaning of life, I swear (together with love, of course), and my character and command of the languages I know with confidence at the moment are such that I can guarantee a lot of wordplay, rich vocabulary and rhymes whilst we speak!

Am very interested in finding people whose interest is to learn English or Brazilian Portuguese in exchange for German, French, Spanish, and/or Italian. If you still want to talk to me, yet I did not include the language of your choice nor the one in which you are fluent in this description, please don't hesitate to do so regardless - maybe your language is precisely one to provide me a much needed shot in the arm!

Nevertheless, let us not worry too much about terms or concepts such as "learning" or "teaching", after all, though grammar might be interesting from a linguist's point of view, to the man in the street, language itself is merely a tool to communicate ideas; therefore, I propose that, even if we prescribe shifting idioms based on time and whatnot, let us instead prioritise information exchange and personal connection, allowing grammatic rules to unconsciously enter our brains via immersion and removing any pressure to "speak properly".

P. S.: BTW, what about us going off-axis and venturing into Middle Egyptian together? Or Ancient Greek? Or Latin? That's at the juncture I am the most now.
