Does italki and having a language partner really help? Hi everyone! Hola a todos! Has using italki really helped your fluency in learning Spanish? I studied Spanish in school for three years and did not really enjoy it and decided instead to focus on French. Now, I can follow the gist of a spoken conversation (if it is slow enough) in Spanish and pick up on the meaning of written Spanish if I know the context - for example I follow football in Spanish. However when it comes to speaking I can never quite remember enough to say whole sentences. I'd really like to visit Spain next year and would love to get my Spanish to a level where I can communicate, if not fluently, comfortably.
