15 hours a week, that's a LOT! We only have like 3 hours of class a week!
Hey, I'm aiming for N2 by autumn as well!! It'd be ideal if I could get to N1 but I think that's probably impossible... and there's definitely no way I could get there in speaking.
I know what you mean about the "English-speakers" thing, I always get really confused when speaking in Swedish to an English native (or one who sounds like a native) because it just feels so stupid. On the other hand I also sometimes end up using Swedish just because I want to prove that "yes, I can speak Swedish too, it's not just YOU" haha.
Nah, I reaaally don't like voice chatting or instant messaging in a foreign language for some reason (I get really nervous about that you're "timed" and can't use ex. gestures) and I also really need someone with the same interests as me, otherwise I don't know what to say and the "friendship" breaks off super fast.... I thought that, theoretically, I should be doing it if I "really" want to improve but D

N1 is a very big hurdle. Honestly I'll be thrilled if I can drag myself up to N2 by December. My studying has a lot of gaps, so I need to get serious.
Ever tried HelloTalk or italki for language partners?
