I'm from UK, 44 y.o. lawyer on sabbatical and enjoying ‘pretirement’ cycling and learning padel in the best place in the world! I'd like to improve my (currently fairly basic) Spanish picked up travelling decades ago in South America and more recently in Girona and via DuoLingo (Section 3 (A1), Level 24). In return I can offer a patient listening ear and a native ‘King’s English’ tongue. I can be flexible on days/times and locations (inc. remote).
