HI. I'm an ESL teacher in San Francisco. I'm trying to learn Turkish and French, so if you can help me with either of those, that would be great! Also, if you ask for a chat and I don't answer, it's because I'm busy. Please don't take offense, as none is intended. I've had a couple of disturbing conversations here started by other people. IF YOU ARE RACIST, IF YOU DON'T LIKE GAY PEOPLE, OR IF YOU HAVE STRONG RELIGIOUS BELIEFS THAT YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT, DON'T OPEN A CHAT WITH ME!!! Finally, I've been getting A LOT OF requests to help correct assignments (usually 30 - 40 a day!). I can only do 2 or 3 a day, so please be respectful of that. Just send me one a day, please. I hope to talk to you soon.
