    Life with Louie is the only cartoon I know by name. The others either were never shown on TV in the US or we called them other names. It's not unusual for American or foreign cartoons to get new names in other countries.

    I love to chat, but I find that the time difference between me and most of my friends is the biggest problem. Most of the time, my friends are online when I'm at work. By the time I get home, they've been in bed a few hours. The other problem really isn't a problem depending on how you look at it. I'm married and have responsibilities to my wife, such as making her dinner, watching TV with her, and attending church with her. She's handicapped, so we watch live online church services from other parts of the US. Last fall, we even watched live church services from Tokyo together.

     

    Somehow I do find some time to chat with friends and help my non-English speaking friends with English, which I enjoy doing :-)

    I'd want to meet Nebchadnezzar, an ancient Babylonian king who claimed to be a god and the greatest of all people. 

    According to an account in the Bible about him, God caused Nebuchadnezzar to act like a wild animal for 7 years because of his arrogance. At the end of those 7 years, God gave Nebchanezzar his sanity back, and Nebuchadnezzar, humbled by his long experience, gave praise to God and acknowleged Him as his king.

     

    I'd also like to meet any famous Native American leaders who fought to protect their people from invading British and (later) American forces, such as Matacomet, who fought the Pilgrims in Massachusetts in the 1670s, and Sitting Bull, who fought the US Army 200 years later in the 1870s.

    Being an American, I find that English pronounced with American accents tends to be clearer and more distinct, though the standard British accent is just as understandable and charming. From what I've read, the standard American accent used in most TV shows and movies is an accent most common in our midwest, around the state of Kansas. Here in the Boston area where I live, we tend to stretch our ahhh sounds, as in "pahhk yer cahhh" , muting the r in the process.

    English for Spanish  Hi, everyone!
    I'm looking for Spanish speaking friends who are learning English
    and would be available for voice and text chat at prearranged times.
    I'm already frustrated because a friend who was supposed to be on
    now and was supposed to have been on for the past hour is a no-show.
    I get that too many times online and it's a real frustration!
    Most immigrants in my neighborhood don't speak Spanish. They speak
    Portuguese or Haitian creole so this is where I look for Spanish speaking
    friends.
    Si desea Ud. charlar conmigo y recibir ayuda con el inglés, contácteme, por favor.
