Hi! My name is Italia. I'm from the United Staes. I live in Florida. I'm Puerto Rican but i do not speak spanish fluently. My grandparents are from Puerto Rico but later migrated to New York. When my dad moved from New York as a child, he had to learn English and kind of left the Spanish behind and never taught me. All of my Spanish speaking family lives in New York and we don't talk every day so it's been hard finding someone to speak it with. When i was younger i was taught some spanish from family & i took 3years of Spanish classes in school but they weren't enough to make me fluent, so i do have some knowledge of the Spanish Language. I been trying to learn spanish for a long time but I haven't been committed until now. I've been practicing & refreshing everyday on my own on things i forgot, things i already know, and things i don't know. I've been trying to speak daily and Listen to as much spanish as possible. I tend to understand a little more than i can speak it. Learning spanish & becoming fluent is VERY important to me, to be able to speak with my family and also because I'm trying to raise my toddler daughter bilingual and teach her spanish! I would also love to learn other Languages! (Japanese, French, Italian, Thai, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Arabic etc). My Family is military and we travel and move around a lot & lived out of the country so i am very open to learning different cultures & languages. I was considering studying abroad in a Latin American country to learn Spanish fluently but i figured I'd give this site a try first. I am a fast learner. I'm looking for patient people & professional teachers who could help teach me & talk to me more to where i can maybe become a slow fluent Spanish speaker. Or if your trying to learn English, we could Language Exchange & help each other out! I will be happy to help you! :) I'm new to this site so I'm still figuring it out.
