hi isabel, welcome to the board.

this is an english language forum so please write in english here. if you want to write in spanish, please use the "practica y platica..." forum at the bottom of the list of forums.

ok, i think you may want to get to know some americans instead of crying out for other spaniards.

why did you go to u.s.a. in the first place? just curious.

from your call out in spanish above to other spaniards, i get the idea that you are not being open to adjusting to your surroundings and hence are isolating yourself Frowner

24 years living in u.s.a and you still feel alone and isolated Mad

don't mean to seem insensitive but that is way too long to not have adjusted by now.

saludos,
jer...

p.d. Jules, it would seem she is in "Cincinnati,OHIO, USA" (check here "from" tag below here post.

I don't think it's a feeling of isolation so much as a feeling of not belonging. No matter how many years you live in a place, you're never going to be from there and you're always going to enjoy the company of other people who are from your home. I always feel more at ease in the company of New Yorkers when I'm living somewhere else than I do with people from other places. And I seriously doubt there's a huge Spanish population in Ohio where she can meet other people from home.

I think I can empathize with Isabel. Having grown up Spanish in America? My partner is from Madrid and I grew up in a hispanic community (yes, I am the oddball because I'm Irish).

Point is that you can take the Madile�o out of Madrid, but you can't take the Madrid out of the Madrile�o.

We have had the most enjoyable relationships with Spaniard expats than otherwise, mainly because of the compatibility of experiences and interests. Oh well, Isabel good luck you will always have the internet.
