I grew up speaking what is commonly referred to as "Pocho" in my sphere of the world. As such the Spanish that I became aquainted with was a regional dialect that did not qualify as true "Spanish". In the last 10 years or so I have attempted to become more proficient in Spanish by listening to Spanish media and by taking advantage of every opportunity to converse in Spanish with persons who are native speakers of that language. Although I have never studied Spanish formally I have a good fundamental grasp of it and would like to continue sharpening my skills at it. Consequently, I have joined this forum in the hope of benefitting from the most assuredly better Spanish speaking skills of the other participants. I look forward to communicating with and learning from you all. O.A.:)

Hi to all of you,

It is a pleasure to take part in this forum. My name is Esther Wilkes and I am from Spain. I am living in USA and planning to go back to Spain next year where I would like to work as a freelance translator. I earned an Hospitality Degree in Spain and a translation certificate at the American University. I am currently translating for two different organizations and planning to translate for as many agencies and translation companies as I can, although I admit that I still have a lot to learn. That's why I think this is a great opportunity to exchange ideas with other proffessionals, since I have a real passion for translation.

Saludos a todos!

Hello everybody!!! just saying hi to you all. I'm Pam from Buenos Aires Argentina

Hi everyone, my name is Dorysel Abreu. I'm dominican and currently live in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. I have a degree in Social Communications but most of my work experience has been English teaching, Translating and Interpreting. As of now I'm working for Network Omni Multilingual Communications, as a Quality Assurance Associate for the Santo Domingo office. Next year I'll be moving to New York and will hopefully continue working and studying in these fields =).

I really like the idea of a place like this, where we all can share and learn from each other in both English and Spanish. I'm looking forward to gain some experience from you and put my two cents as well.

'Til we speak again,

I'm the org latest acquisition. I hope my presence can be useful to others in the group, as well as to myself.

Hi everyone, greetings from colombia, I'd like to be helpful, I'd be very pleased to help and receive help with any language matter.;)

Welcome everybody to the community!!!!

Hi, my name is Dale Thomas, but I avoid using my first name around Hispanics. I've heard all the "Dale duro", "Dale con un palo", and "Dale otra vez" jokes I can take in this lifetime. "Dale" is also a little difficult for some folks to pronounce. The "No tomas mas, Tomas?" jokes are just as bad, but what can I do? I'm running out of names.

I live in Santo Domingo de Heredia, a small city just outside San Jose, Costa Rica. It's not an attractive city, but it's peaceful and people are friendly. Before coming here, I lived in Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state in Brazil. I lived in the Serra Gaucha and the capital.
Before that I lived in California. It's a long story, but in a few years I may move to Argentina or Chile. Any country with chacareras, cuecas, charangos, zamponas, parrilladas, and empanadas can't be all bad. I'm retired so I don't have to worry about putting food on the table wherever I go.

In addition to history, music, films, mysteries, and quite a few other things, I'm very interested in slang and regionalisms. I came to Costa Rica in December 2006 after an absence of many years believing I had a basic knowledge of Costa Rican slang. To my surprise, most of my slang was very much out of date. I'm finding lots of new words to learn and use. "Mae" (dude, guy, friend) is one example. "Tuanis" (cool, good, fine) is another. And I'm finding that some of the older slang that still exists has changed meangings. Examples of this include "chingo" (not to be confused with the Mexican "chingar") and "hueso". It sure keeps the brain cells busy!

Over the years I've had the good fortune of visiting many countries in Latin America. In November 2006 I had a chance to see parts of Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile. In the near future I'll be going to Panama and Nicaragua. I haven't been there for years. I'd like to return to Guatemala too.

I'm very active in Scouting in Costa Rica, and I anticipate getting back into a service club such as the Rotary or the Lions. I've been a member of both.

Pura vida!

Hello everybody!
My name is Erica, I'm from Mar del Plata, Argentina but I'm currently living in North Carolina, USA. I'm an English teacher and I'm also studying to become a translator. Hope to learn from you all and help whenever I can.

¡Saludos!

First of all, thanks to all who make this forum possible. I was raised in a bilingual household but once I moved out into the world and started working all I have spoken pretty much has been English. As such my Spanish has suffered greatly and I have lost a lot of my vocabulary. Thanks for helping me regain some of that and rediscover my native language.

Hi, everyone!

My name is Laura and I'm from Mendoza, but I'm currently living in Buenos Aires. I'm an English into Spanish translator.

Nice to meet so many people willing to share their ideas! :)

Best,

Lau.-
