I'm looking for a native Spanish speaker to practice my Spanish with. I've taken enough courses to teach several people, but what I need most is regular practice. I would also prefer someone who has technical and/or professional experience so I could practice with more than just conversational Spanish. My goal is to increase my confidence and prepare me to learn to use Spanish in a professional setting. I have a degree in English (writing), and I'm fully prepared to teach someone American English. While I've never specifically taught English as a second language before, I'm patient and very willing to do my best to help someone achieve their goals. I have the capability of helping someone learn to read, write, and speak in English. I currently live in Orlando, FL, and I work as a technical writer for a medical technology company. My wife is a native Spanish speaker and wants to help me as well. So I'm ready for the next phase in my Spanish education.

    Me encanta escribir. En Inglés. Quiero escribir una historia en español. Creo que le ayudará a aprender a escribir mejor en español. Me encanta escribir historias en Inglés, pero me pregunto lo difícil que será para escribir ficción en otro idioma. Será una aventura.

    Book vs eBook

    A good book is an object, which without being magical, is able to transport you to a different world, to inspire you and create new feelings in you. Furthermore, now it has a brother: the digital book, most better known as the eBook.

    From years ago, the eBook is popular because it is a slim device that can content contain many books in digital format to read them in a more comfortable way than paper books. It seems to be an attractive technology for people who loves reading at any time and anywhere, due to its because it is ease to carry it.

    I like reading books, however I have never tried one of those eBook appliances. Since I was studying at University, I have spent much time reading on my laptop, so I can often feel my eyes often feel tired. In addition, this habit is the cause of my need of for glasses to look at screens. Consequently, if I have to choose a book to read it in my leisure I will prefer one made of paper. I like to turn the pages rather than the scroll format and I don't mind whether it is a second hand book.

    With me, the paper book wins!

    I try to only use medicine if I can't figure out what's causing my problem or I am in a lot of pain. For instance, when I get a headache I first drink a big glass of water before taking medicine, because most regular headaches are caused by dehydration. If that doesn't work, next I will try to drink a cup of coffee, because I drink a lot of coffee while I am at work but not as much at home on the weekends. Studies have shown that regular coffee drinkers can sometimes experience headaches when they do not have caffeine.

     

    Great question.

    I can't stand rude people. You do not have to be everyone's friend, but everyone deserves respect.
