I am looking for a language exchange partner who can help me improve my Spanish fluency. I can, of course, help with English. I am an American student trying to learn my first foreign language; Spanish! I took three years of Spanish in high school, but I did not pay attention as well as I should have, but now I want to make up for lost time.

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    I would like very much to learn English[1]. I'd like to speak as fluently as any native speaker, preferably with British accent, but I'm afraid I'm quite far from this.

    My mother tongue is Spanish, and I know a little bit of Galician, a dialect from the northwest of Spain.

    Besides learning English, I enjoy taking photographs, reading and running. I love eating and trying food from all around the world.

     

    [1] This is correct, but it sounds archaic.  In actual conversation, I would say "I would really like to learn English." Though now that I think about it, were you trying to say "I like learning English" as opposed to using "would"?

     

    Your English is very, very good.  If you're speaking is anything like your writing you are not far from fluency at all.

    Pensando en Castellano Mi amigo me dijó que si quieres tener fluidiz en castellano, debo aprender en el idioma. Él es correcto, pero es dificíl hacer. Mi problema es cuando escribo y leo en castellano, estoy traduciendo sino que leyendo o escribiendo normalmente. Me parece el soló manera para pensar en castellano es practicar.

    Buscando por un trabajo (No estoy buscando en italki, por supuesto. Es sólo algo hablar sobre.) He buscado por un trabajo por unos meses ahora. Desempleo no es tan mala como en España o otras países, pero lo podría ser mejor. Mi problema es no tengo experiencia o habilidades porque estoy en escuela, asi que todo los trabajos que aplico por ir otras personas. Hoy he aplicado a tres lugares (McDonald´s, Kroger, y Levi Strauss) en línea. Alguien dicen que es mejor aplicar en el mercado, pero por posiciones bajos como estes, mucho jefes no quiere hablar a mi. Pero conozco mucha gente quien obtener trabajos usando un aplicación en línea, asi que tal vez este será éxito. Me espera suerte!

    General strike in Spain

    Today in Spain there is being a general strike. Normally in Spain when the workers'[1] unions don't like the government's economic policies they call for[2] do a general strike.

    But in this period of economic crisis the unions should think a lot about calling for to do a general strike. In this moment, because of our to economic level, other countries look at us very closely, especially at they look our risk premium, so Spain must present give a good image for the foreign investors.[3]
    Today there are other countries on in general strike like Cyprus, Greece, Portugal and Italy.

    I think Spain and Italy aren't in the same situation as of Greece or Portugal. Spain has not haven't ask yet asked for an economic rescue from to the European bank. This gives to other countries about Spain an image of trust about Spain to other countries. Then I guess with this strike, that this trust will be is broken.
    On the other hand, the Unions in other countries, like France, Germany or England, only are only going to celebrated this evening with some protests in the main cities.

    Perhaps this could be the best option for Spain, only one protest against the economic cuts and measures from the government.

    Finally, I think this strike will change nothing because the Spanish economic policy come from Europe and the Spanish government doesn't don't have any leeway.

     

    [1] You do not need to say "workers" but it is not wrong

    [2] You could also say "go on" like plsdeluno said, but usually I would say the  UNIONS CALL for a strike and the WORKERS GO on strike.

    [3] I could not understand exactly what you wanted to say in this sentence because of the grammatical problems, so I hope this correction makes sense.

     

    You have some grammar issues, but overall this was very readable which is good considering the complex subject.
