Hola Estate Girl y bienvenida a nuestro foro
Sounds like you could be an asset to us lot. Join our gang and help others. We have great fun and even get together so we can actually see who we are talking to
Just one more thing: have you seen the competition at the top. Read the rules and answer lots of questions on here, or just post anything (must be 200 characters long and not contain txt spk or many spelling errors), and you could be in with a chance to win (if not this month, then next).
Where abouts do you live? I'm in Costa del Silencio. Tell us a bit more about yourself. We're nosey  |

I love your avatar btw. So you're close by.
Maybe your estate agency would like to advertise with us (if they don't already!). Tell them we are the top ranking website in the Canary Island and if they want to meet up with Rob, tell them to give him a shout. He's busy moving house at the moment but will be back on form, sorry forum, soon
Can I also congratulate you for speaking Spanish. It is a rare commodity among the ex-pat community over here and you deserve a pat on the back.  |

Ta Jenny...although I dont think I would speak it as well if i hadn’t studied in a Spanish school.... I wish more ex-pat would put there kids into Spanish School....its hard at first but the benefit is just so greater....
So for the people who have learnt Spanish through lesions or just by will power really deserve a pat on the back....
My estate agents already does advertise with you.....and we might leave it there as i really should be working!!!!!  |

now then, now then, it's welcome from me too. hello 'estate' - sorry for curtailing your tag. i do speak and write a little spanish. i'm self-taught as i have little time in my schedule at the moment to embrace attendance based learning. it's a little difficult at times because i have no benchmark against which to appraise my skill level. having said that, i felt sufficiently confident to speak spanish most of the time during my first visit to tenerife, back in november '05, after 2 months of self-learning.
anyway, have a good time in this forum....  |

well, honey, i offered this one on the basis that strawberries enjoy universal appeal, especially during the current season. served fresh, with a dainty dusting of caster sugar and good serving of cream (whipped preferrably) ....  |
