Hello all of yours. My name is Ruth and I need improve my English, because it is very important for my job. I have several meetings with French, German and English speakers and it's very difficult for me to understand them when they speak.

I hope find fantastic person in this forum and practice my horrible English :cry:

Hello Ruth!!
Nice to meet you:) I think many people on this forum want to improve their English language so don't worry, just write and read and your English will be better and better:) I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.
And one more thing, can you write something about Spain? I'm very interested in this country, especially places which are worth visiting and souvenirs which are worth buying.
Thanks
Magda

Thanks everyone.
Giang,
thank for your words, I think so, but it's very different speak English to write and read it. When you are in a meeting with person from different countries, everyone has different accent, there're sometimes you can understand nothing. UFF!! On those occasions I'd like to be under the table. It's a little different when you only speak with one person because you get use to hearing him.
My company is going to close on july more and less, now I'm looking for a new job and in all the interviews I have to speak in English to pass the next part. Because I work in aeronautical area, I can read and write anything but not speak as well as I like it. A interview is complicate to speak because I get easily nervous and I can say what I'm thinking. I'm looking for one to one teacher to solve this problem, but it's a little difficult because in my city there aren't too many English speakers.

Magda,
Spain, as every country, has different popular cultures in depending where do you want to go. The north is very different than the south. For example, the north is green, damp and rainy, the south is the opposite, is dry, hot and in some zones is a little desert. Apart of this contrast we have a wonderful beachs along all the cost. The better of all is our foods, we eat mediterranean diet: fish, fruits, vegetables, meets, legumes and they are naturally cooked without species or another kind of ingredients.
I live in the centre zone, near of Madrid (the capital), in Toledo. It is very a beautiful medieval city, heritage human since 1986, it is the most touristic city of Spain together with the other heritage human cities, you can see the list of heritage in http://whc.unesco.org/en/statesparties/es.
If you want to visit centre zone, you will go to Madrid, Toledo, Segovia, Ávila, Salamanca and Cuenca. In the north I'll visit Santiago de Compostela and its cost, the cost of Asturias and Cantabria, and the city of San Sebastian. In the Mediterranean zone, the beachs are fantastic, there are many pubs, disco,.... the nigthlife is very famous, at the same time you can visit Barcelona, Tarragona and Valencia. In the south, all the cities have a moslem influency as Córdoba, Sevilla and Granada, their cost is so beautiful and their nightlife is ...... In the west I'll visit Cáceres, Trujillo, Plasencia, Mérida and Zafra; here in summer is very, very hot, about 45ºC as Toledo, Córdoba or Sevilla.
There are too many places, but you need live hear for a year.
The souvenirs are very personal, you can by ceramics in all parts, swards and damascene work(in Toledo), I don't Know what can I say you, in every city you are going to see tourist shops.
Ah! One thing Spain turns into a very expensive city with the euro money. Nowadasys, it's experencing an economic crisis.

If you come to Toledo, let me Know, I'll guide you and your family or friends in my city.
