About the event
After many years of going back and forth from Argentina, hanging with friends, dating my now-wife, and surviving endless Sunday asados with her family, I learned Spanish the way people actually speak it, not how textbooks pretend they do.
Traditional classes teach you to pass tests. This series teaches you to actually hold a conversation, understand the slang (lunfardo), and connect like a local.
I have a passion for teaching (and learning) and I want to hone this skill for myself while sharing what I've learned. Don't come expecting a "real" teacher.
My end goal here is to eventually accept donations that will go 100% to providing English school scholarships to underprivileged children. This is the start on that journey.
What to expect:
- Intermediate level: If you have 0 Spanish experience, this won't be the series for you.
- Unique style to learning grammar: Focus on high-impact phrasing and natural rhythm.
- Deep analysis of the common difficulties English speakers have learning Spanish: I will point out fun tips and a new POV on overcoming these difficulties.
- Rioplatense nuance: Master the voseo, local cadence, and cultural nuances.
- Real-world focus: Go from translating in your head to speaking naturally. We too often think in English first and then speak. We instead will focus on mastering concepts naturally in Spanish.
