Don't worry the verbs times are easier if you take the one notebook and write them and if you later repeat them each hour in your mind.

If you achieve learn the verbs times, I know that soon you will can write the Spanish as quickly as you imagined before.


You keep improving your Spanish.

I definitely think that pen pals contribute to the learning process. Plus, you'll gain a new friend along the way who won't judge you for your mistakes like peers in a Spanish course might. I'm so happy Tomisimo decided to add this feature!

Hola Arielle. Encantada de saludarte de nuevo. Te escribo en español porque supongo que debes estar estudiando este idioma, por lo que un poco de práctica no te irá nada mal .

Te sugiero que pases por el foro de Presentaciones, en lugar de subir hilos viejos. De esta manera puedes darte a conocer a los miembros más antiguos y exponer tus intereses. Todo el mundo estará encantado de saludarte y darte la bienvenida.

Un saludo cordial. Irmamar.

Como dijo mi compañera es recomendable que tu crees tu propia presentación en los foros.


I hope you can understand my text in Spanish.

Me pienso que teniendo un/una "pen pal", me ayudaría aprender el español mucho mejor y se podría demostrarme lo que estoy haciendo mal. Yo preferiría a alguien a quien es igual o más grande a mi nivel de habilidad.

I think that having a pen pal(male or female) would help me to learn Spanish much better and people could show to me what I'm doing wrong. I would prefer someone who is equal or better to my skill level(or level of ability).

Hola a todos / Hi everyone!

Sofar I have had very favourable experiences with penpals/ tandems.

I have met a few people online with whom I am exchanging emails (snailmail), msn/ IM and/ or skype (depending on how active you want to be). I have found some good ones on the following sites. You can register for free and put in your profile what kind of contact you are looking for.

I think it' s an excellent way of learning especially conversations on skype or voipcheap - you learn a lot and get to ask questions with a little more depth. I have been doing it for about 2 months, 1-2 times a week and would recommend it to anyone, personally.

http://www.interpals.com

http://www.linguanet-europa.org/plus...ng/keypals.jsp

These two sites offer possibilities for exchange/ tandems as well as options to do little exercises and have them revised by native speakers.

Buena suerte y saludos!

With Windows Live Messenger, we can chat and there is a feature for audio chat or video chat (if we have a webcam). And totally free.

How can I know if my webcam and video and audio chat is working. I don't have that typical installed webcam but I can see myself in the other half of my video.

@VivaEspana

I don't know how you can check it. I don't have a webcam myself. Maybe the best way is to try it with a software or with windows live messenger.

@Crotalito

I suggest that you send me some texts (here in our personnal inbox), about any subject and I could make corrections. For myself, I would like to try to write some texts in Spanish, to practice, but I'm a beginner, very beginner!

Would this be good for you ?

Really I don't like that way, because I need to talk with someone on live, because of that way I feel with safer that sending only text to your inbox, if you can give your e-mail then it's ok, but if you can't do it, don't worry.
