Hablo espanol but I'm not fluent!

I just need to hit the books again. My spouse speaks spanish so I have a live in tutor. I got sidetracked but it’s time to hone my skills and use them to my advantage.
How to perfect my spanish
It made me
feliz 
"hablo mejor, pero no hablo perfectamente. los cuatro meses que pase en espana me ayudo muchisimo!"
How I did it: I spent a semester in Spain in the fall of 2007. I know that I haven't PERFECTED my Spanish, but my goodness, I made significant progress. I can understand it better when others are speaking, I can speak it better myself, and I can write it better. I'd love to go back some time to really perfect it, but I'll just keep practicing however I can here in the good ol' US of A.

speak better spanish

i already do. but it needs some work i get nervous sometimes, i think it quickly, but it comes out all slow and stupid. sure i translate at work and i have conversations in Spanish and make jokes. i even know a lot of different dialects but i am not 100% comfortable. sometimes i dream in Spanish and it is perfect.i don’t really wright in Spanish either. but then i don’t really get the opportunity. i could probably do it but i wouldn’t know where to put the accent marks. What if my mother forgets her English in her old age like my grandfather did. Shit that would really suck. i want to be able to speak Spanish like i grew up in a Spanish speaking country.
Carinadawn is trying to choose her fall classes wisely.

I’m the spawn of a cuban immigrant who was born in New England. I learned bits and pieces throughout my life and most recently through a student exchange program in Spain but I still am not fluent. DAMNIT!
That’s the only picture I have from the trip, naturally I forgot my camera and it arrived the day before I came home.
Living in Ecuador

I’ve lived in Spain, and in Mexico, and now I find myself here in Ecuador. My Spanish is good, but I wish it were better than just good. I haven’t, however, put too much effort into learning, besides just being here and getting by as I go. I think I’m going to take some classes while I’m here so I can take my already pretty good spanish to the next level. Quiero hablar como una Quitena!

I will be teaching next fall in a school where 80% of the students have Spanish as their 1st language. I’ve been studying Span for the past 4 years in college, but I don’t feel confident speaking to the parents of my students. This spring and summer it’s practice, practice, practice (and telenovelas)!
Traveling

I’m hoping this will happen when I visit Spain this Spring Break & live for 3 months in Buenos Aires. Anybody been to Buenos Aires?
