I wouldn't worry so much about the "Am I boring you?" aspect, especially if it's only a minute or two. People listening to it will be going there to give you feedback on your Spanish, so the most important thing will be to actually give them something to give feedback on. Also, i think talking about your hobbies or something that actually interests you will keep people's attention much better than a monotone reading of a news story. And who knows? You might also meet a Spanish speaker or two who share your interests.
I agree that conversations are really ideal and much easier to do than just talking to a computer screen. But if you're going to talk about something, it might as well be something you've actually got something to say about. Another option is just to record a Skype conversation. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Okay, a 51-second recording is up at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUU3JxNJVNk
That was me reading ]my own blog post: http://arthaey.blogspot.com/2014/12/en-california-con-la-fam ilia.html Listening to it, I do agree that recording myself not reading from something will be better. I'll give a less "scripted" approach a try next. Edited by Arthaey on 27 December 2014 at 12:39am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi!
I've been following you on Twitter since the Tadoku in Jan 2012 when we both did Spanish and German :) Great to see you on HTLAL too! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Hello, teammate! I wish you an awesome year, great progress and safe travels.
Don't worry about not giving cerf estimates, those are just one of the various ways to describe your skills and perhaps a little bit overestimated one among us these days ;-) And don't worry about boring people either. Most people following vlogs of language learners are not likely to be bored by your topics and the others are free not to watch. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Acabo de mirar Abandonar el planeta Tierra, un documental de NatGeo que dura una hora y media. Como un fan de ciencia ficción, me gustaba este video y lo recomendaría si tienes flexibilidad en lo que puedes "creer". :)
Las voces de los entrevistados, quienes hablan inglés, están un poco fuertes en comparación a las del doblados. Me distraían de vez en cuando, pero a pesar de eso, fue una hora y media de práctica de español que me lo encontraba entretenido. * ¿o quizás "ruidosas"?
