I can speak English!
Last night, I was chatting with a friend of mine from Ecuador. He knows I study English and that I like to help others improve their language skills. Perhaps, because of that, he started to talk about English classes.
My friend has never studied English. He has zero knowledge. But, for some reason he told me he spoke English. I was curious to know more about it. So, I started to ask him questions in English. As you might imagine he didn't reply back.
20 minutes later he wrote something in English that didn't make sense.
I tried to correct his mistakes but, he told me he didn’t have time for an English class.
I didn't understand his behavior. And, I've been thinking about it since this morning.
In my opinion, he’s a childish person, pretending to know something he doesn’t. On top of that, he doesn't want to be corrected.
He doesn't speak English and that's fine with me. But, this attitude coming from a 40 years old man is not normal.
I know it's good to believe in ourselves. For example, I repeat to myself every day that I can speak English like a native. So, maybe, he's doing the same thing now.
Who knows!
I'm still trying to discover it.

Huaniza, he's not my language partner. He's actually the principal in a biblical school in Ecuador. He wanted me to go study there, that's why he became my friend on FB.
I usually practice English with Americans, so don't worry :)
Luisa, you're right. I think he's my Facebook friend, not a real friend. Yes! I talk to people from the US who are learning Spanish. We're lucky to have Spanish as our native language.
No, I haven't! :D I prefer to stay at home. I don't like crowded places.
Take care if you decide to go.

Hi Erick! First thing, you shouldn't call him as "friend". He's just one more person here. Don't waste time thinking about what he did. Be focus just on your English my "chero"! I'm one of the people who like to practice with native English speakers or people who have a high English level, for me that's much better. We are lucky Erick because most of the users here are looking for Spanish speakers, and we are that! So, I would recommend you to be patient and take some time to look for people who can really improve :)
Have you gone to Consuma? haha

Maybe you need to be specific when finding a language partner.
❤Some people only want a native speaker.
❤Some people want a native speaker & people who 2nd language is English
❤Some people doesn't mind. They just want somebody that know English.
