I enjoy swimming and running. I work in computing but spend much of my spare time playing a number of musical instruments. I perform as a solo musician at weddings or in restaurants and am trying to build up a bigger repertoire of Spanish songs.

    I would recommend a subscription to Scribd. This has many resources of books, audiobooks, documents
    You will find many grammer books, childrens books and novels. Costs about $10 per month.

    Hi Carolina, I have fabulous english speaking skills, just don't ask me about any grammer. I never paid much attention to that at school!  I'm trying to improve my Spanish as quickly as possible so need to use the language.  Send me a PM on iTalki if you want to connect. I'm available mostly during your afternoons. (My evenings)

    Thanks
    Nick

    i agree from the point of view that your subconscious mind is very powerful and if you start to sound like a native speaker, you will believe that you can speak that language - a bit like 'Fake it till you make it'.

    Hi Dwayne,

    I've been learning Spanish for around 2 years now. It really helped me to follow some of the youtube teachers like Gordon on LightspeedSpanish. He has a nice technique and as he is english, his spanish is easier to understand.  I've also been watching some youtube videos of a girl called Alziur - she doesn't teach but just discusses things about life and she is awesome to watch.  Turn on the subtitles (in Spanish) and then look up the words that you dont understand.

    Regards

    Nick

    Question 1

    Hello there!
    Is that correct to say "I hope I have helped you!" to someone I just helped?
    Or simply "I hope I helped you!"?
    Tks!


    Both are grammatically correct and mean the same thing. I would probably contract I have to I've as it is easier to say.

    The only correction I would make in your posting is : 'Is it correct to say ....'

    Decepción con mi musica espectaculo Soy músico. Toco el piano, guitarra, armónicas y ukulele. Canto tambien. He estado tocando música todo mi vida que es mucho tiempo. Desde hace dos años, he hecho pocos espectáculos para entretener a las personas en aldeas de retiro. Es muy diverso con todos los intrumentas que toco, pero también, es muy dificil practicar y prepararse para eso. Este espectáculo se titulo 'The Birds and the Bees' y por esto practiqué nuevamente los clásicos que aprendi cuando era joven (con los compositores Bach, Beethoven, Brahms) incluida la obra 'The flight of the bumble bee' - es muy técnico. Toco tambien varios cancions de Los Beatles (Blackbird, Let it Be) y Los BeeGees. Pillas la idea. Ayer, presenté mi espectaculo a un club de campo aqui en Cuidad del Cabo. Comenzé tocando con 'The flight of the bumble bee' pero inmediatemente y durante este obras, los gentes siguió hablando. Primero me distrae mucho, secundo es muy grosero. Aunque normalmente, puedo completar esa obra con éxito, en este ocasion, fue un fracaso estrepitoso. Me encontré imposible recuperame. Pude completar mi espectáculo , pero con dificutad y estaba muy enojado. Me parece que en general la gente no sabe el esfuerzo que se hace para tocar música frente a un público. No tienen idea. Tan grosero!
