Looking for a study partner to read vocabulary words
Hope this is appropriate to post...
I am a native English speaker and have only been studying Spanish a short time. I am learning independently and using various materials I find online. Right now, I am working on vocabulary and verb conjugation. I am memorizing verbs and their conjugated forms in the present tense. However, I have a problem. After I learn the word on paper, I say it out loud as best I can and I feel like I know it. But, when I hear a native speaker say the word, I do not always catch the word because my pronunciation was slightly off when I was studying alone.
I am looking for a native Spanish speaking study partner (preferably Latin American) who would be willing to read and record my vocabulary words so I can listen to them. Right now I have a set of 47 verbs and their 5 Latin American present tense conjugations.
I would certainly be willing to return the favor. I can read and record English vocabulary words for you, or I can edit papers. I would like to do everything via internet. I am not looking to meet up in person.
If you are interested, please send me a message.
Thank you!

You're in Texas and can't find a Spanish speaker? Really, just check out your friends and acquaintances--post a status on Facebook. There is nothing like getting together face to face with somebody who speaks the language and may become a good friend.
I did post this request on Facebook. And I am friends with several native speakers but no one has responded. That's why I came here.
