Language Learning - Digital Penpal Exchange

[SeaSlugUFO]

Hello  I searched the forum and couldn't find a thread like this so hopefully it's the first and not a duplicate 

I think we could use this thread to exchange emails for language learning digital penpaling 

I'm learning Japanese and would love to practice Japanese with someone, if anyone is interested  I'm definitely still N5 level and I think it should be encouraged to correct each other's mistakes, so someone that is near my level would be ideal! If your level is way higher, we can def still penpal, but it would be a little unbalanced. If you're okay with that, shoot me an email, found in my profile 

I think having a little template to post in this thread would be good, so here's my submission, and also, a blank template for others:

Target language: Japanese
Native language: English
Digital or physical penpaling: Digital only please
Hobbies and Interests to talk about: Video games like Fallout, Elder Scrolls and Stardew Valley. TV Shows like Star Trek, Sex in the City and Downton Abbey. Light anime and manga, art, reading, hiking, animals. Lots of info about me on my profile or on my website

This would be a great way to continue my initial Spanish diary plan. What's hard about maintaining that is that I have to correct my own work, otherwise I'm not actually learning and just replicating my mistakes.

Target language: Spanish
Native language: Dutch, Farsi
Digital or physical penpaling: Doing something new here and saying both
Hobbies and Interests to talk about: Pokémon, video games, travel, animanga, food. I also just like general cultural exchange so I would love to hear about people's daily lives.

I have zero clue if anybody cares or if this is thread de-railing but it is for sure tacky but I'll try it anyways.
Recently I made a conlang simply known as 'Runic' for a TTRPG kinda thing I run and I really need to test it out. You can learn about it from this newsletter I sent out recently.
I can teach you Runic as well, if you'd like. I really just want to stress-test the language as of now and see what is and isn't possible with it. Try messaging me about whatever in Runic and I'll try seeing if I can understand it. Other way around, too. It would be awesome if I could start just having full conversations with someone in it.

Target language: Runic (Yes, Really)
Native language: English
Digital or physical penpaling: Digital almost certainly
Hobbies and Interests to talk about: Anything goes, I'm not picky. I'll probably talk about videogames or youtube or something.

This runic language can be found in more detail on this thread if you'd like to know more! ~ feel free to remove this

I've tried learning languages so many times, it's not even funny. But they never stick. I'm like, reaaaally bad at immersion. But just in case it does stick, I've been somewhat trying to learn dutch for a while. Not sure how long it's been, anywhere between 6 months to a year. I'm not conversational in the slightest haha... Once I get to grammar, I have to stop learning, because it's just way too complicated for me to wrap my head around. Anyway,

Native: english (US - rural south DLC!)
Target: anything really

I'd love to have someone to practice with; communicating back and forth is very difficult for me because I don't actually get a lot of practice using Spanish outside of writing essays for school.

Target language: Spanish
Native language: English
Digital or physical penpaling: Digital only
Hobbies and Interests to talk about: I'm a big reader and listen to a lot of fiction and actual play podcasts (The Magnus Archives is my favorite), I've been watching Star Trek: The Original Series and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I read DC comics sometimes, when I have time (I do read Batman stuff but I am not primarily a Batman fan by any means and don't really engage with a lot of Batman fanon; I'm a Green Arrow fan first and foremost). I kind of hop between interests.
