 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>            panish           |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! <grin>.

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

Saludos
