   From what I'm seeing so far, your English is quite good (there's always room   
   for improvement in all of us!).   
      
   AHL> Ok, My mistake, proper names is always in uppercase initial   
                                    |are                  |.(omit "initial")

   AHL> Ok, practise or practice?   
      
   If you want formal English (as in Great Britain), it's "practise". In most   
   cases it won't matter (maybe it will matter if you're writing a book or a   
   thesis).   
      
    DH> There are several errors to correct, but most of them are quite minor

   AHL> Thanks. Yes, My intention is to improve and speak properly.   
      
   Good stuff!   
      
    DH> Words which are based on names of countries (e.g. Spanish, German,   
    DH> Italian) should be capitalized.   
      
   AHL> Yes, In Spanish is the same, It's my mistake.   
      
   No problem!   
      
    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.   
      
   AHL> Ok, the correct expresion should be "I would like to practice   
   AHL> speaking english with you" , is it all right?   
      
   Capital E on English, but otherwise perfect!   
      
      
   Cheers... Dallas
