Translation of gauge in German

I think we will start Spanish-English and then German-Spanish. Were my explanations clear that when the correct word appeared in the alternative suggestions one needs just to press skip? I think it is normal.
I have began to learn English. I like to swim and to dive, because I lived near the beach while I lived in Miami. It is not similar to any other sport. But this week have not been yet to the pool.
Great that you've written me back so quickly. I want to be your pen pal and we could help each other. I am looking for people who could help me learn Spanish, with focus on conversations.
