💌 about me: my name is Elysse, i'm a 25-year-old american gal living in Berlin. I've been learning languages for over 10 years and I speak English (native), Spanish (C2), German (B2/C1), French (C1), Portuguese (B2), American Sign Language (advanced), and Turkish (A2). I'm interested in learning Hebrew, Chinese, Georgian, and maybe Náhuatl as well :)
