Nail the meaning once and for all!

Image.jpg
Still wondering why when you listen to a native Spanish speaker you can understand just a couple of isolated words? 
I remember myself seven years ago trying to catch every word in English, of course, I failed at every single attempt.
Do you know why?
​​
1. We don’t catch the language word by word! We catch the language in chunks.
2. Native speakers of a language are set up to send signals, communicative cues for other native speakers, not for language learners.
Any attempt to slow down speech or over articulate a word, sounds forced and therefore unnatural. 
​​​
So, what to do?
​​
Train your ear, so that you can understand what you hear.
​​
Train your mouth so that your spoken Spanish can be understood
and approved by native speakers.
​​​​​

​​​​​

1. Spanish pronunciation training:

1. You will learn how to exercise the 12 basic articulation points in Spanish language so that you don't get embarrassed the next time you attend a language exchange.

​​​​

2. I will tell you exactly how to use online resources and which of them work best for you and why spending 2 hours every day scrolling language apps or YT channels designed for language learners has not been working so far.

​​

3. Discover how natives put language into action, you will understand once and for all that over focusing on grammar won't solve your pronunciation problem.

​​​​

​​​​​

2. Listening and speaking training:

​​​

1. You will train your ear by  "dissecting" questions/ statements/ or conversation in Spanish. This will unlock your ability to listen.

2. How to imitate a native and what to imitate.
