Why I sign up to italki I studied english at school and high school, and also I have friends who are living in english speaking countries. So I think it would be a good idea to join italki for improve my english, specially the speaking area, because I think my pronunciation is too strong ( or awful , as you prefer, lol). Anyway, I also work in tourism/hospitality industry , so it would be great have a beeter level of spoken english. I can ...hold? (i'm not sure about this verb , sorry) a conversation with customers, but I feel that when I speak english , I do it very slow, maybe because I have to think in spanish , and translate it to english before speak... So, I thought join this web to find some help and maybe a couple of nice language partners, with lots of patience, lol.
