Que bueno conocerte Paul! Muy buen trabajo, como te comente creo que sabes Español, es cuestión de practicar para mejorar la fluidez. También quería comentarte que tengo paquetes en donde te obsequio una clase. Nos vemos.

    One of the first Spanish language song a I ever listened to is “Agua y sed” by Jarebe de Palo. There is a YouTube video of the lyrics in Spanish and English by Visual Spanish. Great song too!

    My study plan is two Italki lessons per week (Monday and Thursday) and Memrise course 15 words per day (I created my own Memrise course with 50 words per week for a whole year). I was listening to News In Slow Spanish for 20 minutes every morning but I cancelled that and now I will try to organize 2-3 language exchanges each week.

    I think reading is an excellent way to improve vocabulary.  I usually read intensively, where I want to understand every word.  This meant that I read VERY SLOWLY at first.  My first Spanish book was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and it took me months to get through it.  Now I'm reading the Nicolas Flamel series and my reading comprehension is much better.  I use my intensive reading to populate a Memrise course I have made, with a goal of 50 new words per week. 

    I do wonder whether the words I am getting from my reading are super useful in everyday conversation.  I usually bounce my word list off a WhatsApp group I am in of Spanish and English learners.  Usually my list includes some words that are a bit too literary for common usage.

    I don't know that my reading has improved my speaking ability, but it has improved my vocabulary.  I have a much larger pool of words to draw from but the actual speaking of the words in conversation is no better.  I agree with Pia that the only way to improve your speaking is to speak a lot!

    Do you think that families should have a meal together every day?

    Do you think that families should have a meal together every day?

    Yes, I think so. We live in a stressful world and in most cases children have a daily lunch at school. Parents have to make an effort to have at least one meal with their children every day. It's essential in order to have a healthy relationship with their kids.

    This also can be a learning time for children. Parents can teach them table manners and what a balanced diet is. They can also talk about their day and what they have learned at school.

    Nowadays it's difficult for many families because work schedules don''t allow it. So we should ask for flexible work schedules that allow us to enjoy our children. They have the right to spend time with their parents and to have a happy childhood.


    Excellent English Inma!  I made a few very minor corrections for style.  Keep up the good work!

    I would definitely prefer to use "to Millie's" rather than "at Milie's". I prefer 2. Or even "We might be going to Milie's for Thanksgiving again this year."
