I'm a Pole, but been living in London for 10+ years. I'm currently doing a PhD in Human-Computer Interaction (fun fact: I can't talk about my work in my native language – I don't know the right vocabulary!). I'm learning Spanish at the moment, because I really like the language (it's sound, the accent, everything!) and also the culture. I'm fascinated with Latin America and I'm currently on a research visit in Mexico for 2 months. I can read in Spanish and write a little, and even though I've been learning for a year, I can't really speak, because I haven't been speaking. I'm trying to force myself to talk to people here in Mexico, but it's difficult – I don't remember words AND I'm an introvert, so starting conversations is difficult for me in any language. I'm looking for opportunities to practice the language: to speak and to write.
