Hello, Dallas!

    DH> Welcome, Antonio. We try to make corrections where it is appropriate,   
    DH> and tend to model a slightly more formal English than you might hear   
    DH> spoken or see written "on the street".   
      
   Ok, I'm grateful and I'll try to improve.   
      
    AH>>> I'm a spanish man and my english is very poor. I would like to   
    DH>            |Spanish           |English   
      
   Ok, My mistake, proper names is always in uppercase initial.   
      
    AH>>> practique speak english with yours.   
    DH>      |practise speaking English with you.   
      
   Ok, practise or practice?   
      
    DH> There are several errors to correct, but most of them are quite minor   
    DH> and your intention is clear (this is good! ).   
      
   Thanks. Yes, My intention is to improve and speak properly.   
      
    DH> Words which are based on names of countries (e.g. Spanish, German,   
    DH> Italian) should be capitalized.   
      
   Yes, In Spanish is the same, It's my mistake.   
      
    DH> You used what I think is the Spanish word "practique" rather than the   
    DH> English "practice"; this then caused you to use the wrong tense of   
    DH> "speak" instead of "speaking". "Yours" is just the wrong word - you   
    DH> need to use "you" instead.   
      
   Ok, the correct expresion should be "I would like to practice speaking english   
   with you" , is it all right?   
      
    DH> (From the Oxford Dictionary of English): Care should be taken with the   
    DH> use of the words "practice" and "practise" as there are differences in   
    DH> British and US usage. "Practice" is the correct spelling for the noun   
    DH> in both British and US English and it is also the spelling of the verb   
    DH> in US English. However, in British English the verb should be spelled   
    DH> "practise".   
      
   Ok, I understand.   
      
    AH>> Thanks, I'm trying to do better. I'd like to practice English.   
      
    DH> Since the verb of the second sentence is "to practice", in British   
    DH> English it should be spelt with an "s": "practise". Most people in   
    DH> North America, however, use the "c" and while I don't like it I have   
    DH> to accept that it's a valid usage!   
      
   Ok
