You're from USA right?! You are learning German too? Why? Do you want to go to Germany? I'm from Italy and I used to live in Portugal for a while. Now I'm learning in order not to forget everything I learned there. Are you working? I can understand a little Spanish with the base of Italian and heaps of words sound familiar. I will try to have conversations as much as i can. Just learning the vocabulary and the grammar isn't enough! If you want we can exchange messages and emails in English and Spanish in order to improve and get some exercise. I think we should correct each other's messages. i need to practice otherwise I will forget everything.
