Spanish

[spazzychic]

Is someone out there in cyberspace reasonably fluent to fluent in Spanish so that I can practice speaking? The mechanics are getting crowded around in my head and I need to practice them before they fall out. :)

Secondly, can someone recommend some Spanish language music that will

a: Not put me to sleep

and

b: Is not predominately trumpets?

I used to be decent at it. I could carry on conversations with random people and I could understand it when two fluent speakers talked to each other, given that they didn't talk too fast or slur too many words. I did a bit of tutoring in college, too. But that was about 6 or 7 years ago, so I'm nowhere near as good as I was then.

Look for free Spanish magazines or surf Spanish news/entertainment sites. Just reading stuff can go a long way to refreshing your memory.

The reading and writing I can do pretty well.. sometimes. (I think I butchered the Spanish I did above). Speaking it, and being able to create and conjugate on the fly is a harder skill which I need to work on.
