Default Any Spanish speakers here?

English is my first language, but I’ve gotten pretty good at Spanish.
As a result of my divorce from my Hispanic wife, I’ve lost her/our friends and family, and I have nobody to practice with now.
Anybody fluent out there that may want to chat?

I'll bet there's a Spanish guitar NG out there somewhere on the net? Wouldn't non-Spanish speakers feel left out of what you'd say?

Nací y viví en Puerto Rico hasta los 21 años cuando enlisté en el ejército de USA. El español es mi lenguaje primario, pero a veces se me olvidan palabras.

English is my first language and I forget words, too.

I am, but, as Don Lampson pointed out, if we post in Spanish here, it will leave the others feeling alienated (what a word that is). The same thing applies when you're with Spanish speakers and someone wants to practice their English.

Then again, I've always thought dual texts are a great way to learn (same text in both languages).

My goal is actually to speak to another member.
Conversational(spoken) Spanish is where I was going with this.
Maybe exchange phone #s thru a PM.

Sorry when I try to cover this song is about as much as I know, and honestly I m sure my pronunciation is flawed
