Hola. Mi nombre es Paul y soy de Perú. Me gustaría mejorar mi inglés y poder pensarlo fluidamente. También tengo otros intereses como el cine, la literatura, la historia, la música y los idiomas. También estudié italiano y portugués básico. Y conozco algo de Francés. Lo estoy aprendiendo autodidáctamente ahora.

A las personas que quieran aprender o perfeccionar su español las puedo ayudar.

Por favor me corrigen (las palabras) si tengo errores. Es la única forma de aprender. No tengan compasión o reparo.

¿Y Cómo está el foro? ¿Sirve?

Bienvenido Paul o Pablo?

Hello, my name is Paul and I am from Perú. I would like to improve my English and be able to think in it. I also have other interests such as cinema, literature, history, music and languages. I also studied basic Italian and Portuguese. I know some French, I am self-teaching it right now.

Eso es más o menos lo que pusiste en castellano.

Aquí todo sirve. :-)

Instead of 'I am self-teaching it right now' I would say, "I'm teaching myself right now," or "I'm teaching it to myself right now."

Right. I know this things, but the moment I start just typing as I go over what's written, I just give myself away.

Thank you I appreciate it a lot, as if you keep on pounding it will force me to pay more attention at what's going out of my fingers and head! :-)

Would you say "on my own", too?

¡Bienvenido, Paul!
Creo que este foro es muy útil. No digo que pueda absorberte un poco demasiado a veces, y hasta despistarte de lo que estés haciendo, pero a la corta y a la larga, es un excelente foro donde dialogar, conocer otros puntos de vista, familiarizarte con los mejores usos tanto en inglés como en español, y una forma de enriquecer tu vocabulario y conocimiento, al tiempo que aportas tu granito de arena para que los demás se beneficien de tu contribución. No sé si habrás oído hablar de la "aldea global", una idea, o un término, idedado por Mcluhan, pero a mí me da la impresión de que al tener una base de comunicación como esta nos permite aumentar el conocimiento mutuo, social, personal, global y aumentar el tamaño de nuestra familia... o de nuestra aldea... En fin, ¡disfruta de tu gira por los foros!

I wouldn't. The phrase "on my own" used in the sentence "I am teaching myself spanish on my own" sounds very redundant.
The sentence "I am teaching spanish on my own" implies that you are a teacher teaching a class without the help of another teacher.
If I were to use the phrase "on my own" I would say "I am learning spanish on my own."
