🤔 If I didn't analyze things so much I would do more...
It took me a while to get into studying English seriously.
After living a year in London and another in Los Angeles, I achieved my goal and learning English opened the doors for me to teach Spanish to the whole world. Without a doubt, it was one of the best decisions I have made in my life!
Today I invite you not to think about it so much, and also start to reach the world with your business...
Did you know that Spanish is the second most used language after English on the Internet? Did you know that Spanish is spoken in 21 countries?
Whether you want to learn from the comfort of your home through virtual classes, or if you prefer to tour iconic places in Colombia or Latin America with me in my immersive Academic-Cultural Journey program. I am here to help you, you just have to contact me.
You'll see how much fun we will have learning Spanish and how positive it will be for your business! 🙂💙👌

🤔 How long does it take to reach a conversational level of Spanish? It's one of the questions I get the most every day, and I can answer that with the case of my student and friend Rob.

Rob is the best example that if there is commitment, desire, and an open cultural mind, you can quickly start speaking Spanish!

It took Rob less than a year to be able to converse with native Spanish speakers.

In addition to classes, Rob also took the Academic-Cultural Journey my immersive experience in Colombia.

He has visited our country 5 times in the last 3 years! It seems to me that Rob has visited more cities in my country than I have. He has made many friends in Colombia and enjoys our culture very much.

If Rob did it, you too can master Spanish, a language that is currently becoming as important to speak as English! 🤓💙👌

Todo lo que implique creatividad tiene un impacto de recordación tremendo. De todo lo que vi en los Juegos Olímpicos, lo que aún tengo en mente, es la presentación de La ucraniana Taisiia Onofriichuk, de 16 años. Le hizo honor al hit Thriller de Michael Jackson.
Esta Chica, quedó entre las 10 mejores del All Around de gimnasia rítmica. No ganó medalla, pero aún está en nuestras mentes, ¿Cierto? 🙂💜👌

✈️Spanish Immersion Travels to Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Uruguay, Costa Rica & Dominican Republic!
Eating Amazon worms in Colombia was a strange experience... Yes. But life is so short that I don't want to miss anything. If I had already eaten raw fish (haring) and smoked eels in the Netherlands, why not try something more exotic this time? 😉💙👌

My mission is to make learning Spanish enjoyable, so I like to add a touch of fun by doing curious activities during our lessons!😂

And I think I'm achieving my goal. In this video, for example, I teach you a little about "las colocaciones", and I impact you with an image that you will not forget. An infallible strategy for any teacher who wants his students to remember and be curious about a topic.

So you have fun while I teach you, and I have a great time while I do my work.

And that's what happens in my Academic-Cultural Journeys. My immersive Spanish teaching experiences in Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Uruguay, Costa Rica and other Latin American destinations.

Say goodbye to routine and escape with me. Register and start living your immersion weeks doing fun things while you learn! (Link in my bio).

Let's have some fun today and tell me what was the strangest experience you've had on your travels?

The Unseen Hero. How I Saved My Student's Immersion Experience (and How You Can Avoid Similar Nightmares) 😉💙👌

Ever wondered what goes into crafting an unforgettable immersive experience?

I'm here to share a story about the unseen effort that goes into ensuring your Spanish learning journey in Colombia is smooth sailing.

Logistics: The Backbone of Immersion. For me, it all boils down to meticulous planning. That means taking care of everything from comfortable accommodation and convenient transportation to delicious meals, insightful tours, and top-notch academic resources. My students get to fully focus on their learning while I handle the behind-the-scenes magic.

A Logistical Hiccup: Putting My Skills to the Test. Recently, Rob, a dedicated student from the Netherlands, embarked on his 5th Colombian adventure with my Academic Cultural-Journey program. Like many others, Rob might not realize the unseen efforts that ensure a seamless experience. On this occasion, a last-minute logistical hurdle tested my problem-solving skills and unwavering commitment.

The Importance of Anticipation. Rob specifically requested a quiet room. To ensure his comfort, I personally coordinated this detail with the hotel beforehand. As part of my usual routine, I always visit the hotels a week before student arrivals to double-check everything. On the day of Rob's arrival, I faithfully followed this protocol, arriving 2 hours early.

An Unexpected Change: Time for Plan B (and C). Imagine my surprise when I discovered the hotel had switched Rob's room – without informing me! The new room, while aesthetically pleasing, was located near a noisy avenue. To my disappointment, the manager wouldn't honor our original agreement or offer a quieter alternative.

For the first time in my career, I felt immense pressure. With the clock ticking (Rob's arrival was imminent!), I had just 45 minutes to find a new hotel that met all his needs, in Medellín one of the most popular tourist destinations.

Turning Challenges into Triumphs. Determined to fulfill my promise, I left the unreliable hotel, fueled by a mix of frustration and unwavering commitment. And guess what? With a stroke of luck (or perhaps, the reward for meticulous planning!), I secured a breathtaking new hotel. Rob himself described it as a fairytale escape – nestled amidst the mountains yet conveniently close to the city. Spacious rooms, ultimate comfort, and the soothing sounds of nature – a perfect environment for learning and relaxation.

Proactive planning wins! This experience solidified my meticulous approach. I anticipate challenges and have backup plans (hotel visits!), ensuring a seamless learning journey for you.

😊💭Can you relate to this experience?
I'd love to hear any similar stories you might have!

Avoid Confusion: "Conmigo mismo" Vs. "Yo mismo"! Keys to Speak Fluently 😉💙👌🏻

👋🏻Hola, ¿cómo vas?

Es un gusto estar contigo de nuevo, ¡aquí empieza la magia!

El tema de hoy confunde a muchos estudiantes del idioma español cuando quieren hablar de manera fluida y son el uso de las expresiones “conmigo mismo (a)” y “yo mismo (a)”.

😉Diferencias y similitudes:

Conmigo mismo (a): “conmigo mismo (a)” es la unión de un pronombre personal “conmigo” más el adjetivo “mismo”.

Se utiliza para indicar que la acción del verbo recae sobre el mismo sujeto que realiza la acción. En otras palabras, significa que la acción se realiza por uno mismo y para uno mismo, pero con la idea de compañía o unión.

Sí usas la expresión “conmigo mismo” recuerda que siempre estarás añadiendo énfasis a lo que dices.

Yo mismo (a): “yo mismo (a)” es la unión de un pronombre personal “yo” más el adjetivo “mismo”.

Enfatiza que la acción la realiza uno mismo, sin necesidad de compañía. Cada vez que uses la expresión “yo mismo (a)” también estarás agregando énfasis a la idea que comunicas.

¿Es correcto decir “a solas conmigo mismo"?

Usar la expresión "a solas conmigo mismo" es correcto, y en este caso necesario. Si usamos la expresión "a solas conmigo" suena raro y muy ambiguo, pues no queda claro si se refiere a que tú estás solo, o a que otra persona está a solas contigo.

¡10 ejemplos del uso de las expresiones “conmigo mismo (a)” y “yo mismo (a)”!

Reflexión:
1. 👩🏼Necesito tiempo a solas conmigo mismo, por eso decidí tomarme 15 días de vacaciones para pensar sobre mi futuro.

Testigo:
2. 🧔🏻‍♂️Yo mismo lo escuché, nadie me lo contó.

Transformación:
3. 👩🏼 La conexión conmigo misma ha consistido en mirar mi propia historia, pensamientos, emociones, creencias y modelos mentales, con el objetivo de poder aceptar, incluir y transformar lo que quiero en mi vida.

Autonomía:
4. 🧔🏻‍♂️Yo mismo voy a armar ese escritorio, ya vi que tú no eres capaz.

Reflejo:
5. 👩🏼Estoy aprendiendo a dar mis primeros pasos de bachata, por eso anoche bailé conmigo misma frente al espejo.

Prodigio:
6. 🧔🏻‍♂️¡Yo mismo lo dibujé! Ya sé que parece increíble, pero fui yo.

Locura:
7. 👩🏼Si mis estudiantes me vieran hablando conmigo misma dirían que parezco loca.

Rebeldía:
8. 🧔🏻‍♂️Ya que nadie quiere preparar las pastas de la cena, las haré yo mismo.

Soledad:
9. 👩🏼No encontré con quien jugar ajedrez, así que jugaré conmigo misma.

Iniciativa:
10. 🧔🏻‍♂️Yo mismo la llamé por teléfono y le dije que no era necesario que comprara más verduras para la comida.

¡VAMOS A PRACTICAR!
