Looking for an exchange. I´m from Spain!!

Question

Hello to all Spanishadict members!

First of all I´m introducing myself. This is Ana from Spain, I´m a Spanish native speaker. I would like to find a language exchange to practice my English and improve my English level. But, the most I need to improve is my speaking and my pronunciation. Best said, I think I need to learn to pronounce since the beginning hehe. So I would like to meet someone from United Kingdom to teach me to pronounce. The only reason for that, is I´m more familiarized with British accent, because it´s the kind of English we´re taught in Spain. I also would like to meet people from Ireland, United States, Australia to know the different English accents and to be able to understand them. In return I would love to help you with your Spanish.

Hope you can hep me, and receiving a lot of replies.

Thank you in advance.

See you soon Ana

Answer 1

If you want someone who speaks english with no accent, you should hookup with someone from Canada. We just end our sentences with eh.

Here's your first rep points eh - Yeser007, May 12, 2010

Hello arriba, thank you very much for your reply!. Definitely I need someone to teach me to pronounce I didn´t know people from Canada have no accent. So, could Canadiense English be called the standard English?. It´s really curious accent´s subject. So - Anuk, May 13, 2010

So many accents in each language, that make the same language sound very different from one area to another!. It also happens with Spanish!. So, I will like to have an English accent when I´m talking in it, - Anuk, May 13, 2010

not an Spanish accent....that´s what I already have....hehehe. You know how bad is Spanish accent talking in English hahaha. - Anuk, May 13, 2010

I hope he was kidding, Canadians have the strongest accent in the world lol - sfrenchie, May 13, 2010

I'm pretty sure it was a joke. :) - Valerie, May 13, 2010

Hola Ana,

Si estás en Madrid, quizás pueda reunirte con nuestro grupo para hacer intercambios cara a cara.

¿Cuál es tu nivel? Nuestro grupo es de intermedio hasta avanzado.

Un saludo,

Anna

Hola annabitanga!. Mi nivel es intermedio . Arrrgggggh!!! Qué rabia!. Porque lo que también estaba buscando era un intercambio cara a cara :_( lo que pasa es que no vivo en Madrid, soy de Alicante :( Jo! qué mal!. - Anuk, May 13, 2010

Por casualidad, no conocerás ningún grupo de intercambio en Alicante, ¿verdad? *cruzando los dedos* - Anuk, May 13, 2010

I don't know if there are groups but you can search for individuals in Alicante for a one-to-one intercambio. - annabitanga, May 14, 2010

Hi Ana,

I'm Mark, I'm English and live in London. I would like to invite you to our Spanishdict Group on Skype. You simply have to run the Free Skype download and then choose a Username. Once that is done, you are one step away from speaking English with other Members of Spanishdict from around the World - including the Famous Valerie.

Send your Skype username to me via Private Message and I will add your name to the Group. The normal Forum rules apply, which means showing respect to others.

My Spanish level is beginner, so I look forward to speaking with you.

Have fun, Mark

Hello Mark!. Thank you very much for your reply. I have already skype software. So I´m sending my username by Private Message right now. I´m lloking forward to joining to your group. :) - Anuk, May 12, 2010

Answer 7

Ana, El sábado pasado tambien teníamos dos Steves de inglaterra en el chat de voz, aparte del distinguido mono, Mark Baker, que te saludó arriba. Hay otro Mark de inglaterra que habla a veces tambien, junto con unos estadounidenses. En el último chat tambien hablaron dos de Australia. ¡Me ilusiona hablar contigo!

(Por favor que todos me corrijan, gracias.)

Hola Valerie, gracias por tu respuesta. Vaya, eso es genial!. Veo que sois un montón en el chat, seguro que os lo pasáis muy bien . Tengo muchas ganas de conoceros a todos. ¿A parte del sábado soléis quedar otro día o a otra hora?. - Anuk, May 13, 2010

Espero poder chatear el sábado, porque aquí es un poco tarde. Una pregunta, ¿cómo entro en el chat?, ¿es un chat de skype o de esta página web?. Como verás todavía no sé cómo funciona muy bien la página, pero sólo es cuestión de práctica - Anuk, May 13, 2010

Saludos a todos. Tengo muchas ganas de conoceros! :) - Anuk, May 13, 2010
