Finding a Spanish speaker to interview
Hola,
I am a student studying Spanish and am looking for someone I can interview in regard to Spanish culture. I only have a few questions to ask, and would be happy with a post or email response.
The questions are:
What are the most important cultural symbols in your country or community ?
Who are the most famous people, currently or in history, in your country or community?
What is the currency / flag / National Anthem (national anthem) in your country or country of origen?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hola! I'm from Spain, so I hope I could help you
-What are the most important cultural symbols in your country or community ?
--Well, you could say that the bull is one of the most important cultural symbol, but I don't know how the rest of the world think about it. Also, we have a particular musical branch, it is called "flamenco", but I is found mostly in the south of Spain.
--Bueno, podrías decir que nuestro símbolo cultural más característico es el toro, pero no sé cómo lo ve el resto del mundo. También, tenemos una rama musical bastante particular, se trata del flamenco, pero se encuentra mayormente en la parte sur de España.
-Who are the most famous people, currently or in history, in your country or community?
--If you want to know our most famous people in our history we could talk about Cervantes, Pablo Picasso... But nowadays, probably the most famous Spanish people are Hollywood actors, like Antonio Banderas, Penélope Cruz or Javier Bardem.
--Si quieres conocer a nuestros personajes más famosos a lo largo de la historia, podríamos hablar de Cervantes o Pablo Picasso, entre otros artistas de talla mundial que ha dado nuestro país. Por otro lado, las personas más famosas de España sean actores de Hollywood, como Antonio Banderas, Penélope Cruz o Javier Bardem.
-What is the currency / flag / National Anthem (national anthem) in your country or country of origen?
--We use euro (€), our flag is red, yellow and red (horizontally), and our anthem is called Marcha Real, but it has no lyrics since Franco died.
--Usamos el euro (€), nuestra bandera es roja, amarilla y roja (horizontalmente), y nuestro himno se llama Marcha Real, pero no tiene letra desde que murió Franco. Sorry for my English, I hope this will be helpful. Disculpa mi inglés, espero que esto sea de ayuda.
