Hola. I have been participating in a Spanish language forum for over a year and decided to expand my horizons. I am an retired engineer and dabbled at Spanish some for a few years. I decided to get a little more serious about my studies and enrolled at a local universitiy. In my Spanish classes, I am called Ricardo. The classes that I have been in and the profesoras (yes, so far profesoras) have been great. The professors that I have studied with so far are very, very fluent in English but, thankfully are native Spanish speakers.

Hi Ricardo

I´m new here too. My native language is Spanish. I want to improve my english. I use to translate literally from Spanish to English and I have not a fluent English. I´d like to improve my english and we could help each other. I´m a sensible and serious person living in Madrid and I´d like to chat with someone via Skype or something like that. Now my eldest daughter is learning english (her 6th or 7th try) and I have to pay an american teacher who comes home twice per week (quite expensive). I want to improve my english, but for free if it´s possible.

Thank you in advance

Tomísimo te puede ayudar. A mí me ayudó. Aunque mi español parece chapurreado, es mucho mejor que antes, y el foro tiene algo de ver con mi mejoramiento. Tu inglés parece bastante bien para leer. Leas algo en inglés que te interesa y marqueas las palabras usos del idioma que te confunden. Los puede presentarlos al foro. Casi siempre hay gente que pueden ayudarte gratis.

Welcome to the forums, Kirk!

Hola Kirk, ¿Qué tal amigo?

Un gran cordial bienvenida para ti a nuestro foro amigable. Pase por el lounge estamos sirviendo café y donuts/churros. Incluso tenemos café cubano fuerte servido en las tazas de café que se parecen a pequeños juguetes de los niños.
Estoy bromeando. En serio, bienvenido a nuestra fourm. Que tu estancia entre nosotros sea interesante y divertido como lo es para mí.

A proposito/BTW, ¿Hablas el inglés con el acento sureño de Carolina del Sur que me gusta?
