Learning Dutch/Nederlands leren... help!!

Hello all!!!
I don't know if what I want to say should be placed in here or in everything goes, but here we go anyway....
I have been living in the Nederlands for over a year now. I am deeply interested in languages, and I do not really think you feel 100% in the country where you live, till you are able to speak and properly understand the language.
As most of you might already know, 95% of Dutch people speak very good english (and some very good German, French, etc), which makes practicing Dutch incredibly complicated. My level of Dutch is not good enough yet to keep a real conversation, although I can understand and say quite a few things, therefore is very easy to swap into english. As a result is getting me longer than I thought to learn the language (and is driving my crazyyyyyy!!...)
So the question in here would be, is anyone interested in interchanging Spanish/Dutch (I am Spanish, but would not mind to talk in English) <IMG SRC="eek.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> conversations with me?? Do you know anywhere in he Internet where I can find someone to help with??
Thanks a lot!!!!!! <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

Good luck!!
Laat me weten.
Translation:
My first language is English but I learned alot of Dutch about 3 years ago (when I lived in Holland). I am Canadian (born to Dutch parents) and would like to practice my Dutch as well. I know nothing about Spanish but would like to write or email a bit with you in Dutch. Let me know.
PS Waar woon je in nederland?
He lives in Amsterdam, evidently.
*is impressed how much Dutch he understood*
