I like to focus on both grammar and conversation/listening skills. For this reason I try to divide my classes into two sessions per week. The first session focused only on grammar. The second one focused on conversation and listening skills.

  • Do you speak this language fluently because of your origins or because a teacher inspired you to learn?

    I am a native Spanish speaker. I was born in Bogotá, Colombia.
  • Can you name a living, historical or fictional character that you think is the emblematic representative of the language's culture?

    Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra author of Don Quijote de La Mancha.
  • Is there a typical word, phrase, tradition or behaviour in the language that you particularly like?

    I like the word ¨ojalá¨that means ¨Quiera Alá¨, it´s a blend between Spanish and arabic.
  • Why does speaking this language matter to you?

    I am a writer so Spanish is my main tool of communication.
  • What is the main difficulty in learning this language and what can help the process of learning?

    The main difficulty is the lack of motivation and the most useful thing to fight against lack of motivation is the use of compelling, interesting and envolving material.
  • Provide a valuable anecdote related to your language learning or your days at school.

    I grew up learning English as a second language back in my country and it was only until I moved to an English Speaking country that I became confident and fluent. The need to use the language or being in touch with the language every day via conversations with natives or just listening to the radio or watching tv is the fastests way for you to embrace the language and be confident.
  • How has travel or a specific trip helped you to increase your skill and knowledge of the language?

    Moving to the US helped me move forward into thinking in English and stop translating everything into Spanish.
  • What makes you a Superprof in language?

    I hold a major in Literature and a minor in Arts. Also an especialization in Journalism. I also have more than 10 years of experience teaching students all ages.
