Hello everyone! I was here a long time ago, but lost all access date...I'd really like to find a Tandem partner now.
1)language(s) that you are learning, including level
German (B1), French (also B1, but significantly rustier)
2) language(s) you speak natively
English, Italian
3) your location
Close to St Gallen during the week, Zurich often on weekends
4) personal interests (eg sport, film, music etc)
movies, live music, technology and digital life, politics?
5) short introduction about yourself
I live in CH since one year and I have learnt a pretty decent amount of German, I think (well, I survived  ). Still, I have massive grammatical holes, and I really need to find someone to talk to outside of my office - in exchange I can provide Italian, English and/or cupcakes.
