Nasar Qureshi
My name is Nasar Qureshi and I am a senior at Loyola University Chicago majoring in Biology and Cognitive/Behavioral Neuroscience. I also have minors in Arabic and Islamic Studies, having completed both programs last year. My love for Arabic stems from my rich connection with Islamic Studies, having memorized the Quran at a very young age and serving as a leader of many Islamic and humanitarian organizations. I studied the Arabic language under various scholars and institutions in Chicago and hope to further my connection with the language by studying abroad. As a non-native speaker, I understand the challenges of learning a new language and hope to aid students in improving their speaking, reading, and pronunciation abilities over the course of the year. In my free time, I enjoy visiting various restaurants in the Midwest, reading books, and playing sports.

Lukas
My name is Lukas and I'm a junior studying psychology. I lived my whole life in Germany before I moved to the US to go to Loyola. By moving for the first time to a completely different country, I've experienced that speaking to a native speaker is the best way to learn languages. No matter if you are just starting to learn German or have been practicing German for years. I'm excited to talk to you! Please schedule a conversation with me on this LLRC Appointment Center

Mary
Привет всем! My name is Mary or Masha (I don't have a preference) and I'm from the Chicagoland burbs. I am Ukrainian and my family is from Kyiv and Donbass; I grew up speaking Russian in a Soviet household. I thought everyone spoke a different language at home until I was about nine years old. I'm really excited to practice with you. I'm a Political Science major with Spanish and Mandarin minors (so trust me, I know how hard language study can be) graduating Fall 2023. I love to talk Russian and Ukrainian politics, but I promise we can stick to the fun stuff too. I have accumulated a lot of very good memes in Russian over the years. Don't hesitate to schedule a meeting with me! Improving your Russian ability is my number one priority. Надеюсь что скоро встретимся!
