I've been learning Spanish since doing the Camino de Santiago. On the walk I found that many Spanish people don't speak English yet, and it's really helpful to speak Spanish. It's a beautiful language, and Spain is a lovely country. I am a qualified English teacher with a CELTA qualification, so am really looking for a Spanish person who is a qualified language teacher for a conversation exchange.
My hobbies are walking, spending time with my wife and two grown up daughters, watercolour painting, reading, artisan bread making, and learning languages.
Peter es un estudiante muy motivado en su aprendizaje de español y merece destacar que en tan solo unos meses es capaz de una buena interacción. Tanto su expresión como su comprensión oral le permiten mantener un diálogo ágil y fluido. Destaca también su acento neutro y su pronunciación clara. Muchas gracias, Peter.

Mi experiencias favoritas al viajar en los años últimos fueron cuando hice dos caminos de Santiago en Francia y España. Me gusto mucho viajar con solo una mochila, dos camisetas y dos pares de zapatos etc. Podía descansarme y comer cuando lo quería. La gente fueron muy simpática.

I always find this attempt to categorise languages by difficulty questionable. What sort of level of fluency is being aimed at? Is written, spoken and oral fluency all being weighted equally? I’m surprised that Spanish is often assessed as an easy language to learn. It’s easy to get to a basic level of Spanish. But at an intermediate and advanced level there are many complexities in Spanish grammar for the English speaker. Got most people I suspect it’s going to take an good two years of part time study even living in Spain to get really good. The reverse is also true. I often meet people living in the UK whose English even after 20 years isn’t great. Learning languages is rewarding because it takes real effort.

Me llamo Peter. Soy de Inglaterra y vivo en Londres. Llevo aprendiendo tres años español. Hace tres años hice el camino del norte de Irún hacia Santiago de Compostela. Hablo francés y creía que muchos españoles hablarían francés o inglés. Pero descubrí que fuera de las ciudades muchas veces poca gente habla idiomas extranjeros. En entonces decidí aprender español.
Me encanta el español. Es un idioma muy rico y con muchas expresiones interesantes.

How to say good bye?
I enjoy watching YouTube videos! Some of my favourites youtubers are English speakers, so I've always wanted to send greetings but I'm not sure what are the correct way to say it!. Could you help me?
Well, it's nice just to make some comments about the Youtube film and why you liked it. You can then say, 'all the best'. 'Regards' is sometimes used at the end of a letter but it's quite brusque and formal.

Everyday collocations
As Jackie is just about to call it a night, she realizes that she’d better make sure that the workers take turns in time to get the job done. She would rather see that it's finished soon.
