¿Cómo se dice "I want to improve my Spanish" en español? I'm kind of dismayed that I don't know how to say this but I can't come up with anything that sounds natural to me. I wanted to correct Jeannette's Notebook Entry titled "Mi presentaciòn :)" but I ran into some difficulty with one sentence. She wrote: Espero que alguien me puede ayudar a ampliar mis conocimientos. (en español). Is "ampliar mis conocimientos" the right phrase here? This just sounded strange to me but I'm not a native speaker so what do I know? Working with Google Translate, I came up with: I hope someone can help me improve my abilities in the Spanish language. Espero que alguien pueda ayudarme a mejorar mis habilidades en el idioma español. (o simplemente "en español? ") Well that sounds a bit formal to me. I'm also concerened about "habilidades". Is that the best word here? It doesn't seem much better than "conocimientos". Could one just say " ayudarme a mejorar mi español?" That seems like a translation from English. Is it natural to say that?
