What is a good second job to practice spanish speaking skills in Columbus, Ohio?
Asked by jen
I just spent the last 5 weeks in Mexico studying Spanish. I am able to understand the language fairly well through listening, and one of the main things that I need is oral speaking practice. I know that I also lack in vocabulary, as anyone would at this particular stage in learning the language. I am very capable of writing spanish, only me cuesta trabajo hablar en espanol. It takes me a longer time to spit the words out. I live in Columbus, Ohio where there isn't a very large Spanish speaking population. Any ideas on how to keep practicing, or any ideas on a second job or activity that I could pick up? I am really interested and dedicated to becoming bilingual, so I would appreciate serious responses.

Best Answer:
Get a job part-time with the Bureau of Workers Compensation as a telephone adjuster for Spanish-speaking applicants to help them fill out their workers comp forms. People call from all over the state, and you will stay current on Spanish, at least about injuries, anyway.

you should check into a job in Marion, OH. It's about 50 miles NW, just take 23 north. There is a growing hispanic population there, and I'm sure you could find a job virtually anywhere that would involve speaking Spanish. Also, in Columbus, try finding a job at a bank or department store.
