Hola, gente!
Estaba revisando este foro con mi hijo menor, ChilenoAlemanCanada, cuando me di cuenta que un profile aquí me podría ayudarme tambien. So here goes...

Soy Canadiense casado con una Chilena. Cuando tenía 19 años decidí aprender el Español despues de haber visto el conjunto Carmen en The Midnight Special.

Tomé un curso de Español y me enamoré del idioma. Empecé a comprar revistas de Condorito, escuchar musica latina, y pasar tiempo con mis nuevos amigos Chilenos (los que conocí en el curso).

Despues de tantos años, el poder hablar Español sigue siendo una benedición para mi. Pues, ha enriquecido me vida mucho. Espero poder aprender de ustedes y también contribuir a la conversación.

Hello.

It's magnificent to be a family here with us in the forums, because between all you family you will learn faster the language instead of you alone, it's grandiose to know how a community can be useful for a lot of people in the worldwide, in this moment I can tell you this place has helped me a lot during my stay although when I started in the forums it was hard, because casually I didn't understand much words or grammatical forms, but with the cross of the time, I could to understand much the meanings with the help of others and well until day, I can't achieved so many phrases said for the native speaker English, but well I know sometimes, I will reach my level although if I'm not a native speaker Spanish now, I can't believe that I can upgrade more my skills language.

Anyway I told you a little about me and well now is your turn to tell me something about you and your story how you learnt or you decided to enter here with us.

Welcome.

Gracias a todos ustedes por la bienvenida. A ver si me pueden ayudar con una pregunta. ¿Si quisiera decir, "thanks for the warm welcome" how would I do that? I know I'm probably not going to use the word "calida" because that doesn't sound right. ¡Si me pueden dar un consejo, estaría muy agradecido!
