you don't use onda, in Colombia? Vibra, instead? muy americano...
You can maybe use it in Bogotá, but in Medellín people don't use it. Actually, we relate that word 'onda' to mexican spanish. Say, que onda men!?, but you can certainly use it, and it will not sound pretentious. Cheers mate.

I left Peru few days ago, with my Spanish at a conversational level.
I was banging a 9 on one of the last days and she kept repeating chinga me, chinga me, chinga me. This is how I learn.
Repetition is a key

I learned Spanish myself through chatting with various people during 2-3 years during university, the key like Vinny mentioned above is repetition.
Nowadays I speak fluently and most latin people always mention I have a good Spanish but that for some reason they say my accent is mexican ( I spent 1 month there in July last year). So the key is to at least talk to someone daily just to keep up the flow.
