Hola Andres, mi nombre es Casey. I’m currently taking Spanish classes in Washington, DC with a native instructor. Actually I took first Spanish classes in Maryland, but I work in DC now and that's why I take the Spanish lessons in Washington, DC (with a native Spanish tutor). I just wanted to thank you for making this blog and for the articles you write. Like I mentioned, I’m a Spanish student, right now I consider myself to be in an intermediate level. I understand most of what I hear and talk some. I love speaking Spanish and the culture, the Latin American culture was what motivated me to start taking Spanish lessons. I plan to travel to Latin America (Antofagasta, Chile, donde vive lo primos de mi novio). I hope to find Spanish tutors there, since I want to speak Spanish perfectly well! I really like the articles you post. They are very helpful, they are not only interesting, but they also help me practice my Spanish. Even though I don’t understand some of what is written, it helps me a lot to see the words that I’ve learned in my Spanish class used in sentences. I attended even one of the meetups you are promoting on your web site www.learnspanishdc.com and I enjoyed it and learned really much.
