I would have thought that there are many Hispanics in the US. for you to speak ti. For that reason at least 2 of your presidential candidates made speeches in Spanish during the last campaign!
I don´t know how to do the speaking and listening either, so it´ll have to be the reading and writing, posting or PMing. I live in Galicia, Northwest Spain.
Hi! Your Spanish is quite good taking into account that it´s a case of resurrection! Be careful with genders, plurals and singular, though.
Hi there!Nihonjin nai desu yo! Dakedo, nihon ni sunde imasu! (Not Japanese, but I live here and study Japanese every day!) Nai nichi nihingo no benkyo shite imasu!
?Mira ud.? Tengo dificuldades con dos lenguajes! Soy un Americano que vive en Japon y, por supuesto, estududiando Japonese. Pero no quiero olvidar mi "primero segundo" lenguaje: Espanol! Okay, this is killing me! I just really bought into this invitation to Spanish because I lived in San Diego for 25 years studied Spanish and don't want to forget it. So, yeah, need help with genders, plurals, etc. puedes ver cuando te escribo. Ayudame!
I'm betting other early-retirement.org users know Skype. It is a simple, peer-to-peer (computer-to-computer) video teleconference that lets me and the kids talk to Dad in Pennsylvania while we're living in Japan. You just need a computer, microphone, and video camera. I talk to folks in San Diego all the time on Skype. Go to skype.com.
Vicente-san, Supein-go o hanishite kurete arigatou gozaimasu! (Thank you for helping me keep up with my Spanish!)
On the tilda (y un asento), though: No se que hacerlo. Como hace ud.? Let me say I think it's great that you are offering to help everyone and really appreciate you helping me. (Porque aqui no hay muchas personas que hablan Espanol.) So, okay today's lesson, proper usage of "por" y "para!"

Hi! For the time being I´m more interested in finding some chat rooms where I can do the same thing I´m doing here. But I´ll have Skype in the back burner.Check. Got it.
Ugh. I still have a loooong way to go...
Yes, check out Skype! There are literally millions of users. I use it to stay in contact with family and friends from San Diego to Pennsylvania. Video and audio calls Skype to Skype are free. Skype calls to commercial lines equate to about 2 cents a minute. And, over-the-horizon teachers use it to-- get this -- teach! It's a great tool.
(BTW: How do you add the tilda and accents to your characters. Bet you can you access from a standard keyboard, just never done that.
) Vicente, I really appreciate your interest in helping others speak Spanish! Mo, Nijongo wa totemo muzukashii desu! Yes, Japanese is difficult, too. (Well, for me... our 5-year-old is a master already.) 
In a sense it wasn´t such a foolish question your friend asked ´cause most Spaniards don´t know what burrito means in that context. The same happens to tacos, which BTW means "rude words" in Spanish. But I´m sure this you already knew.One day at the police department a guy asked a Hispanic officer how he said "restroom". The officer looked him square in the eye and said, "Restroom."
A friend I worked with at megacorp was enjoying a burrito for lunch. She looked at me and said, "I wonder what the Spanish word for burrito is?"
I know just enough Spanish to get myself into trouble....
One thing we all learn from living in Texas is that just because someone is Hispanic does not mean they actually speak any Spanish. I know a lot of people named Sanchez and Martinez who can't speak a word of Spanish.
Absolutely. Adding to that, if they have Hispanic features they are not necessarily Hispanic. The color of my eyes, hair and dark skin tone causes some people to immediately start speaking to me in Spanish.
Listening to that on the radio cracks me up!
That´s it. But if you ask a Spaniard if he wants to eat a burrito the chances are 1. He´ll think you are kidding him. 2. he´ll be baffled. 3. he´ll have a vague idea that it´s some sort of Mexican food, which by the way isn´t too popular around here.What does burrito mean to Spaniards? Little donkey/burro?
You are absolutely right.
Your avatar certainly belies your looks...!Absolutely. Adding to that, if they have Hispanic features they are not necessarily Hispanic. The color of my eyes, hair and dark skin tone causes some people to immediately start speaking to me in Spanish.
I know some Spanish, but when it comes to my work at the police department, I let someone else handle that responsibility.
Listening to that on the radio cracks me up!
2. What city is known as "San Quimas" (Phonetic, unsure on spelling).
