| Description |
I am looking to move to Sweden in the next year or two and would like to have a better understanding and be proficient in the language before I embark on that venture.
I am a professional in the health care field and would love to work in the same field in Sweden. Learning the language is an essential part of meeting that goal.
I am a beginner. I know a few words but it's been pretty slow going. I live just outside of Toledo, Ohio and finding someone to help me learn Swedish or even local classes has proven to be quite difficult. I am hoping I will find someone on here to help me get started on my journey.

Dear Prospective Teacher,
I am interested in learning Mandarin Chinese for several reasons. First, I enjoy learning a language for its own sake; my wife is from the Netherlands and I have slowly learned some Dutch over the years. I derive pleasure from speaking it.
Anothe r reason is that I believe that--after reading The Chinese Century--Mand arin will be a helpful language to know in the coming decades. I work for an international company and although the chances of my being sent abroad are quite small, you just never know what opportunities may arise.
Fii nally, I believe that I have some basic, intrinsic ability to pick up foreign language sounds. My wife's family has complimented me on my pronunciation .
During my enlistment in the US Marines I was sent to Vietnamese language school where again, I had no problem with pronunciation . I enjoyed learning Vietnamese and was fascinated with the use of tones. I was disappointed that I was subsequently not sent to Vietnam--all for the best as it turned out!
At this time I have had no experience with Mandarin but I am strongly considering purchasing a set of Pimsleur language tapes. I like the efficiency of interacting with the lessons as I commute to and from work.
I imagine that for me, attending a Mandarin class in a small group, no more than once a week, would work best for my schedule. I am interested primarily in developing skill in conversationa l Mandarin; however, I would also want to eventually learn to read and write it.
I am looking forward to contact from prospective instructors.

Hello!
I was an exchange student in Bangkok, Thailand for the academic year, last year. I loved learning it. Through the year I became quite proficient in speaking and I could read some things. Now that I have been back in America for almost 8 months, I am losing my Thai. I have more difficultly communication with my host family and my friends, which is extremely depressing since they mean so much to me. I would love to take weekly lessons so that I could continue to improve and at the very least keep up with what I have. I am a straight A student and a very hard worker, so I would be grateful for anyone who would like to speak thai with me.
Thanks so much!
Tara
