PRONUNCIATION

What do you think of his pronunciation? It belongs to one of my classmates who in my opinion has a beautiful pronunciation, but I'd like to know the opinion of the experts (by experts I mean natives English speakers) I recerded it furtively, haha.

Conversation Practice

Hello, I'm learning English (my native language is Spanish) and I'd like to complement my classes with some practice, that's why I'm inviting to all the native English speakers interested in having conversations on Skype to contact me.  I'm looking either for a spontaneous conversation or a permanent language partner. I know that is weird to have conversations with an unknown person but that is the only way to make progress.

Just send me a message telling me at what hour you are available and I'll do my best to be available at the same time.  See you.

¿Por que algunos usuarios no permiten que se les mande mensajes?

Yo no podría hacer eso (bloquear los mensajes) soy demasiado curiosidad.

Y siempre esta la posibilidad de conocer a alguien entretenido.
