You can always have a look in the spanish papers on the net like El País (http://elpais.com), El Mundo (elmundo.es) etc. There are all different kinds of sections to pick articles from like: economía, tecnología, deportes, cultura, estilo etc. Pick an articles from a something that both you and your partner are interested on. Using paper articles offers the advantage of having the expressions and words beforehand. Just have a look and I'm sure you'll find something. ;)

Hace algunos meses tomé algunas clases de inglés, había un libro que había que seguir pero algunas veces la maestra y yo nos la pasabamos platicando sobre cualquier cosa, era algo espontaneo, aveces me preguntaba sobre mi familia y ella me hablaba de la suya, otras veces era del trabajo...en algunas ocaciones yo no entendia todo lo que ella me decía y detenia la platica para que me explicara...era algo muy bueno porque yo conversaba con lo poco que se y lo ponia en práctica...

The best thing is to read something /listen to something and then discuss it..

Anything is game. You can just focus on what you want to learn (which is what I do when I teach a language) if you're interested in learning business. Let's talk about it. Literature? Let's read and discuss! Flexibility is best I think =)

Hi Pam! It depends on what you really like, I can suggest you to talk about what you want to do on vacations, if you have ever been México you can have a fluent conversation about that or if you haven´t, you can ask your partner where are those interesting places in México, from that point, I asure you will have a very cool and interesting conversation.
