Hello everyone. I joined this group as I have been learning Spanish. I started during the pandemic doing online university courses. But we did most work in a Workbook and weren't talking much. I looked for conversation groups and now belong to a few. I speak in the present tense at an intermediate level. My goal for this year is to get proficient in the simple past and future tenses. I teach English and plan to teach primarily to Latin, central and South America.
