    Clases de español para extranjeros: Speak Spanish Naturally! Native Colombian Teacher with Cultural Insights
    Hello! I'm David, a Colombian from Medellín. I am a young professional in literary studies and a Spanish teacher for foreigners. In addition to my degree, I hold a diploma in teaching Spanish and have three years of experience teaching at a school in Medellín, Colombia. In our first class, the goal is to assess your current level and determine the best learning plan for you. Each lesson incorporates three key components: a conversational/oral segment, a grammatical and theoretical section, and a practical application. These three aspects help develop all the necessary skills for mastering a language. Finally, in the practical component, I design activities based on the artistic and cultural expressions of South American countries. I believe it is important to explore the diverse artistic and cultural manifestations of Latin America because they serve as natural, authentic materials that showcase how people express themselves and use the language in different contexts. Often, this usage can differ from the grammatical rules we learn in class, making it a valuable complement to traditional language instruction.

    I am Senegalese, Professor, Linguist and Specialist in the Wolof language. Learn and speak Wolof easily with me.
    My methodology is to base myself on the courses in a structural and clear way, accessible to my learners to give them quality teaching and a total understanding of the courses in a cordial and satisfying atmosphere. My method is very simple, I start by teaching you the most common and most used words and expressions. Then slowly the formation of sentences, conjugation, grammar but also how to pronounce each word well and know their positions in the sentence. Thanks to my very simple and effective teaching methodology, the student can form sentences in Wolof very easily from our first lesson. Wolof is the most spoken language in Senegal, Gambia where it has been enriched with contributions from other dialects, Arabic and French, which remains the official language. It is experiencing cultural expansion in the country and is also present in Gambia and Mauritania. So to facilitate your integration into Senegalese society; it is essential to use this language because it is the vernacular language although there are several beautiful local Senegalese languages but Wolof remains the most used language. This is why I offer myself to teach the beauty of this language which is my specialty and my mother tongue, I also teach Senegalese and Gambian culture and civilization. Learning Wolof offers anyone who wishes to know Senegal, in a professional, cultural or tourist context, the opportunity to establish privileged contact with its population. I would also like to inform my learners that apart from online courses, I organize language visits and tours in Senegal; for those who wish to travel to practice and discover Senegal with special packages. DON'T HESITATE TO BOOK A COURSE DIRECTLY SO THAT I CAN EXPLAIN AND INTRODUCE YOU TO THE WOLOF LANGUAGE.

    Learn Armenian language, grammar, literature and history in Western Armenian.
    Western Armenian is a language that has been put in the endangered language's list, and I personally believe that such a rich language should never die. I believe that I am taking a huge initiative to be one of the individuals who'll try to save this important language from disappearing. I try to make my lessons as interacting as possible. The lessons and exercises will be provided through PowerPoint presentations. I try to listen to my student in order to prepare the lesson plan together, according to his needs and preferences. I've always been the smiling and friendly tutor who makes the student comfortable during the lessons. I believe that in order to reach the students you need to understand them also emotionally and psychologically.
