I have enjoyed learning Spanish by myself for many years, but I feel as though I cannot understand people when they speak very fast. I also find it hard to think of the way to construct sentences and conjugate verbs fast enough to converse very well face to face. I need practice listening and speaking. I feel as though I can understand a lot of written Spanish, although there is a lot of vocabulary left for me to learn as well. I am willing to exchange help with someone who wants to practice English. I have a large family and enjoy hiking and kayaking in the southern part of the United States.
