Teaching me your own dialect of Italian (that is not Italian) in New York, USA

  Description

  **Please write to this host in your native language and please punctuate your message correctly.**
  
  I currently live in New York and work as a barista. I have been learning Italian just for interest, but I am most interested in other languages in Italy or their dialects (for example, Siciliano, Napoletano, Sardo, Romagnolo, Pugliese, etc etc etc). I am looking to host speakers who are patient enough with my level of italian and who are speakers of one of the other languages (or some might say "dialect") in Italy. So, if you do speak your regional language that is not the standard language, I would love to host you.
  
  Other than teaching me your language, I do not have much work for you. I mostly look for a culture exchange in the form of a temporary housemate who could teach me something I am interested in. So, you will have to be mostly independent, you will have the experience of living in New York. It is, however, too expensive for me to provide everything for free, so I will ask you provide you own food (though it would be lovely to make food together sometimes, in which case I will provide the ingredients), and to contribute to part of the bills and rent.
