Hi!

I'm Nancy, a Brit that has been living in Spain for nearly 12 years. I live and work (at home at the moment!)in Madrid.

I'm fluent in Spanish (95%!!!).

Just started blogging about Madrid and being an expat...something that I'm really enjoying doing...plus I'm meeting loads of new virtual friends!

If I can be of any help with info on Madrid, being an expat, work, housing, travelling around Spain, places to see, etc...just drop me a line and I'll do my best to lend you a hand!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi. I'm an American who is very advanced in Spain's Castilian dialect but I need more practice. Would you be interested in doing that on Skype? You would end up learning a lot about the US. I am looking for someone who can devote at least a half hour per day -- one hour a week is just wasting everybody's time. If you are interested, send an invitation to ronaldo.garza3

Hi,

Nice to meet you! I would love to be able to help you out, but devoting half an hour day at the moment would be a difficult task! I give English classes in the afternoon when you would probably be wanting to link up (I understand that you are 6 hours behind us). 

I did find this Spanish Chat page for you, I don't know whether it would be of any help or whether it's the type of thing that you are looking for: spanishchat.com/index.php

I do apologise, I wish I could be of more help to you! If I can help you out with anything else, please don't hesitate in contacting me.

Un saludo!

Many thanks, Nancy. I have created an account. "Besos" -- Ron
UPDATE: Oops, it's a Text'ing room, not a Chat'ing room. Uf. Oh well, thanks anyway.

Oh, I'm sorry...if I come across any proper langauage sites I'll drop you a line!

No problem. I use ConversationExchange (it's free) to find people to talk with using Skype (unltd machine-to-machine calls are free). I have found one person who is serious; all the rest are just in awe of the technology but aren't serious about "living in the other country" (time-wasters). BTW, I've had no luck with MyLanguageExchange (it's not free). Take care, Nancy.
