Hi Jana,

I think they have Meet Up where you live, if not you can start one. I am a
member of three Meet Up groups here in the US. Basically, it's group of
people who get together once a month and speak Spanish.

We meet here at the Panera Breads, which is a national chain of cafes.
Because once a month really isn't enough time to practice I joined three of
the groups which meet on different weeks. The level of knowledge in each
group varies, however each group has native speakers and the majority of the
members can speak in Spanish for the two hours or so that the group meets.

Additionally, I use a series of books called "Practice Makes Perfect" from
the McGraw-Hill Publishing Company. The books have all kinds of drills and
lessons and deal with all kinds of grammar, vocabulary and pronoun and
preposition issues. I read the free weekly Spanish Newspapers here, there
are five in my area. I listen to CNN en Espanol on my XM Satellite radio and
watch a telenovela most nights on the Telemundo Channel here. The only thing
I don't like about the telenovelas is the fact that they have a beginning
and end, like a book. Whereas American Soap operas go on for years, the
telenovelas last about 6 to 8 months. My latest one, "Victoria", produced
in Colombia finished up Friday night, it started in December. Finally, I
have some people in Latin America, I communicate with by MSN and Yahoo Chat.

Good luck.

Ray

Hi, everybody!!! I´ve studied Spanish some years ago, but I stopped
practicing it, so I´d like to keep on having a conversation in
Spanish. If you think that you can help me, please send me a message.
´
Bye,bye.

Jana.
