Chatting with a Spanish Native through Skype

Activating hopefully on December 2010(Suspended since May 2010)

I am

My obsession is helping Anglophones students to speak in Spanish or if they prefer just chatting by text.

That's why I created this permanent exercise that requires the participant have to interaction with me. To participate you must use Skype (if you do not have it you can download it here).

After that we can talk about anything. Maybe you have some question or just want to talk or chat...

My local time is GMT-3 (summer time). You can see your world time zone here...

I will be posting my availability in this Calendar.

You can also send me a private message or tweet me at in order to agree a special date to chat.

You also will be able to see my skype status looking at this indicator and click on it to contact me: Mi estado (available/conectado, absent/ausente, busy/ocupado, offline/desconectado)

Saludos

Wow I think this is great. I speak english but I am learning spanish with rosetta stone para la computadora. I am looking to skype/aim on a daily basis with texting in spanish / english. I can voice chat on certain days, but I would like to listen in on some conference calls to help me understand conversations better. My skype is nathan.caron and I have it setup on my mobile device. If anyone has a blackberry we can text with BBM too! Good ideas guys.
