I would like to become fluent in Spanish by speaking with a native speaker on a regular basis. I also would love to teach someone English. I studied Spanish years ago, but never really spoke it that much on a regular basis. I grew up in Los Angeles, California and I lived there for over 30 years. Now I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I am married with a son who is 15 years old, and a daughter 22. I have worked mostly in call centers as a CSR, supervisor, or manager. I plan to travel to Spain and Mexico in a few years and would love to be able to speak fluently or close to it. I am a kind and patient person who would love to find a language exchange partner who is also kind and patient.

    Please help me with this English activity

    A greeting to all friends, appreciate you could help me with this English work. To invent some festivities. I leave the text:

    The Nocaima-Cundinamarca parties

    The Nocaima-Cundinamarca parties are very festive, and almost 80% of the people are involved in them. There are games, dances, concerts, and foreign artists that perform different shows for the general public. People really enjoy the holidays and feel a great commitment to them, since they come from a tradition of over 200 years. These festivals are celebrated every year on September 7. All the people attending the party are dressed as clowns, harlequins, mimes, and jesters, as this is a prerequisite to attend the celebration. Its principal activities are the ugliest parades, with the fattest person reigning. There is a dwarf race where the winner receives stilts as a reward. Something else that is also very characteristic of the parties is that people of Nocaima Chicha get drunk from alcohol derived primarily from corn fermentation not distilled. This makes them become a little crazy and disoriented, resulting in the end of the holidays with great fights. These fights are very funny for people who are not from the region, but who come to participate in these festivities. Meals consumed during the festival are not very common. For example, among its main dishes are curried kidneys, legs caramel, roasted chicken hearts, root broth, and chocolate eyes. Nocaima parties are known throughout Colombia for being a true taste of tradition in which the mixing of the Colombian people takes place. They gather in a big party where reality meets fun and laughter, and all of it is transformed by the magic of dance, disguises, poetry, and music. The ingenuity, imagination, and color of the luxurious costumes make this Sunday an act of an artistic campaign very special. It is the result of two years of preparation looking to keep alive the tradition of a town that lives and vibrates to the beat of its Carnival.

    Es importante escribir y leer en su lengua nueva todos los días. Hoy, voy a hablar de mi esposa. Ella tiene miedo real de los insectos. No importa dónde quedan los insectos, podrían estar adentro o afuera de la casa, se los tendrá miedo. No importa qué tipo del insecto, o lo que tamaño, se los tendrá miedo de ellos. No tiene miedo de la mosca cuando esté segura completamente que es sola mosca. No sé por qué tiene miedo de los insectos. En toda su vida, nunca ha mordido o ha picado del insecto!

    David is waiting for Christmas day. So he had decided to buy a gift for his mother. His father gives him five dollars a week and he puts two dollars in his savings account at the bank. Eventually, Christmas time arrives and David takes 20 dollars from his savings to go shopping. He goes to the mall to look for his mother a gift. There is a brooch he likes in the shape of a spider, and he decides to buy it. At home, he wraps it with Christmas paper and places it under the tree. On Christmas day, when his mother opens her gift, she screams, because she thought it was a real spider!

    Algunas veces parece que el mundo tiene mucha violencia Porque hay mucha violencia en la casa, la ciudad, el estado, el pais, y el mundo hoy? Que piensa usted? Pienso que hay mucha gente pobre y quizas no pueda ver un buen futuro. Los hombres malos usan los sientos desparados de la pobre y hacen promesas falsas para controllarla. Creo que la solucion sea la gente rica y honesto necesita usar su dinero y su inteligencia para protectar y ayudar a la gente pobre. Tambien, los pobres necesiten leer y estudiar muchos libros diferentes a mejorar sus vidas. Una cosa mas, los probres necesitan compartir y apoyar cada otro en aprendiendo maneras diferentes de hacer y ahorrar dinero. Si todo el mundo estaria trabajando juntos a reducir y eliminar pobreza no habria tiempo a hacer dano a alguien. Yo se que hay mucho mas descutir de este subjeto. Que piensa usted?

    La vida de una persona que quiere aprender espanol Siempre tenemos que buscar y escuchar para la oportunidad a escribir o hablar la lengua nueva. Creo que no necesita que ser tan duro o dificil para completar algo beneficio a su vida, verdad? Es necesario mirar a los programas de televison en espanol como "hoy," y escuchar a musica latina en la radio. Es importante a aprender sobre una lengua y cultura diferente de suya . Quizas, simplemente, quisiera que si mas y mas gente estudiaria otra lengua. hubiera menos conflictos o guerras entre los paises. Pienso que no es posible aprender una lengua nueva sin desarollar una apreciacion para le gente.

    It means that if you become rich and famous and start to think you are better than everyone else, at least you will have me to remind you that you are not better than everyone else. This knowledge will keep you humble and prevent you from developing an over inflated ego and treating people poorly, especially those less fortunate than you. Treating people poorly could cause your rich and fame to go away, to crumble. Thankfully, again at least you have me to remind you of your humanity, your warmheartedness, and your friendship. This is why you can count on me to keep you humble.
