American native who has lived and worked around the world. I am an administrator at a University in California. I am learning Spanish as my second language so that I can communicate with more of my staff and students as well as have the skills to communicate while traveling to Central and South America. After several failed attempts in traditional classrooms, am trying to learn Spanish fluency through conversations. My hope is to learn new language and deepen my appreciation for the culture. I am a very basic beginner! I hope to find some language learning tutors to help guide my practice, as well as conversations partners. I am happy to help with English if you'll hep with Spanish! :)
