I would suggest Yahoo! Chat in the Spanish chat rooms.
They're trying to be polite by offering you their drinks so you can conserve your own.

I'm Argentinian, but it's nice to know you generalize everyone into one category.
Wow, Google down or something?
Nope, because I just Googled, "Polish Education System" and came up with "about 56,400,000 for Polish education system. (0.17 seconds)"
Do you have Yahoo! Messenger?
If you go to chat, click on Cultures & Community, then by language.
And they have "Auf Deutsch" which is where Germans can chat.
There are 56 people in the chat right now.
