Hello, my name is Andy. I was born in Washington D.C but have lived in Seattle for the last 13 years. My mom is Peruvian and my dad has a Jewish background. I study applied math at University of Washington and I also love languages. I speak Spanish and Portuguese (at an intermediate level) too. Next year I hope to do study abroad, maybe even in Iran, so I am trying my best to learn a language that is very different from what I know.

    Back to the US! Ready to learn. Doostham Iraniye, amadeh hastand??? zabanha mikhaim yod begirim! I'm trying to say, "let's learn languages together!". I'm typing from my phone now so I can't use Persian characters. I'm starting to read some books now. In a few days, I see my girlfriend and want to impress her! Any ideas? -baghal! Andy

    You can always practice English with me. My skype is andysbarr. Yo también quiero mejorar mi castellano para que suena más natural. Está bien entre familia y amigos pero quiero poder dar una presentación sobre mi campo (matématica aplicada) sin tener que usar 'spanglish' :)

    "Hello.I am Mashhour from Jordan. I want to improve my ability in [the] English languge so i need the [help] from all of you ..............nice to meet [everyone]"


    'I want to improve my English' sounds better than
    'I want to improve my ability in [the] English languge ' .


    Feel free to add me on Skype and as a friend here. I am always happy to help! (skypeid: andyasb)

    I love the sound of Portuguese and Hebrew. Singing in Portuguese just sounds so perfect to me. Like it was a language that was made for song.

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    Hello...I'm afsane from Iran...I found this site accidently...My goal in registeringl is to improve my speaking... I love English so much but i do not have enough confidence to speak...[totally i'm lack of confidence].

    Wonderful! Welcome to the board. I made a few small corrections to make it sound a little more natural. The .[totally i'm lack of confidence] doesn't quite make sense but you could say, "I totally lack confidence at this point" to the same effect. Though you should not lack confidence! Everyone has to learn from somewhere and your introduction was great.

    ok, my skype is andysbarr  . Please feel free to add me. My point is that it would be cool to make lists of people and be able to query it instead of having to make new posts all the time

    I live in Seattle, Washington, in the Northwest of the United States. In some ways, I love my city, and in some ways, I get frustrated by it.

    If you love art, hanging out in coffee shops, going hiking, and wearing silly clothing, then maybe you will have a great time in Seattle! On the other hand, people can be very shy, and whenever I come back after being in Latin America, it feels very weird when I go out since people can be very reserved.

    If you ever decide to visit Seattle, please let me know! I use couchsurfing.org and love visitors and showing people around.

    I disagree very strongly with the people who say no! My experience living abroad, even though the separation was difficult, has always been worth. Your family will be there when you get back and with technology like skype it is possible to keep very connected. I'm saying this as a guy with a big (I have 4 siblings and many close relatives) family. Travel as soon as possible because it only becomes far more difficult and expensive when you start having young children!!

    Good luck with your decision!! I know it is hard but I think you can do it. In my experience, I have grown so much when I have had to live on my own in a different country that I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything. I think, just go for it!

    -Andy
