Spanish for beginners: Grammar, phonetics and pragmatics in a course accompanied by a cool teacher.

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 58 C$ /h

Spanish is the second most popular language in the world with 486 million speakers. Migration movements and international job offers have made Spanish one of the key requirements for achieving good communication with others.
However, due to its linguistic characteristics, learning Spanish can be a bit of a difficult task. In this course I invite you to take a first approach to Spanish through specific communicative situations and personalized classes that I will adapt to your needs.
As a teacher of Spanish and Latin American Literature with more than eight years of experience, I have developed the ability to understand the demands of my students and create teaching proposals that allow them to overcome their difficulties.
Furthermore, as a student of other languages such as English, German and Italian, I have learned the importance of patience in second language learning situations and also how frustrating it can be at times.
For this reason, I offer you a course in which I will accompany you to explore Spanish with a thorough and personalized follow-up of your learning path.
Humor, didactics, grammar and literature are combined in this course so that you can acquire a new tool that is not only linguistic but also cultural and powerful for your mental health.

I hope you enjoy it

About Me

Hi everyone!

My name is María Paula, I am Argentine, a professor and a graduate in Literature from the National University of Litoral.
I am currently pursuing my doctoral studies at the National University of La Plata as a CONICET fellow.
If I have to define myself in three words... CURIOUS, EMPATHETIC, ENTHUSIASTIC.
My curiosity has led me to study several languages. I believe that language says a lot about how each person perceives their experience.
Empathy is something my students teach me all the time, and studying languages that are foreign to me allows me to understand those insecure moments we all have when learning.
Enthusiasm comes from the results of meeting someone to learn from. I think that without a teacher who is enthusiastic about what he does, the path is more difficult.

Education

UNL- Prof. and Lic. in Hispanic American Literature. (2016-2020)

Currently, I am doing my PhD at the National University of La Plata, so I carry out research at several universities. At the moment, I am at the University of Rome III.
I was in Frankfurt, working at the university, and in June 2024 at the Universidad Javeriana in Colombia I presented my work as part of the EU-funded trans.Arch project.

Tu parles déjà bien, mais tu évites certains sujets ou tu as du mal à dire exactement ce que tu penses ?

On travaille la spontanéité et la nuance : défendre une idée, réagir vite, parler de sujets plus complexes, comprendre les conversations naturelles et utiliser des expressions plus proches de ta façon de t’exprimer.

Comment se passe une séance ?

45 minutes en visio, en tête-à-tête. C’est toi qui parles le plus.
On part de ta vraie vie : ton travail, tes voyages, ta famille, ce que tu dois faire en espagnol cette semaine.
Tu relèves un défi à ta portée. Parfois, je te mets volontairement dans une situation un peu difficile, pour que tu apprennes à t’en sortir.
Tu t’entraînes à te débrouiller quand tu ne trouves pas un mot ou que tu ne comprends pas.
Après la séance, tu reçois un résumé avec tes progrès, jusqu’à 5 nouvelles expressions et un objectif pour la prochaine fois.

Ce n’est pas pour toi si tu es grand débutant, si tu prépares le DELE ou le SIELE, ou si tu cherches des cours bilingues ou en groupe. Je ne donne pas non plus de cours aux mineurs.

Ton niveau est vérifié lors du premier cours.
