Spanish for Expats with Teresa

16/11/2025

This week something clicked for me.

I watched a film on Netflix "𝘜𝘯 𝘩𝘦́𝘳𝘰𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘰́𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘰" and suddenly I saw myself in one of the characters, not in the story, but 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴.

Trying to be strong.
Trying to do things “right”.
Trying to be the perfect teacher…
…while inside I felt completely stuck.

And then something beautiful happened this week:

My schedule filled up, not because of social media, not because of strategies, not because of posting every day …
But because two people recommended me.

The real me.
The human me.
The one who helps beginners feel safe, calm and capable.

And I finally understood:

👉 𝗜’𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀.
𝗜’𝗺 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁.

That’s my word.
𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗼́𝗻

The reason I teach.

And for the first time in a long time…
𝗜 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲.

Have you ever had a moment like this?

“𝘛𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘳, 𝘱𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳!"
Have you ever tried ordering something in Spanish… and totally panicked? 😅

You rehearse the words in your head…
then the waiter looks at you and boom 💣 ¡mente en blanco! blank mind.

That’s why I teach my students short, powerful phrases they can actually use.
Phrases that make you feel confident (and maybe even make the waitress smile 😏).

Today’s mission: go get something “𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘳” and enjoy sounding like a local.

🧠 It’s not about being perfect.
It’s about connecting.

Would you dare to try this today?

🇪🇸 Speaking Spanish can feel scary 😵‍💫 but it doesn’t have to.

That’s why I created the 𝗦𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗘 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 (25 min / 19 €): 𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵, 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘹 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵.

I opened 10 spots this week.

Comment EXPRESS or DM me to grab yours.

🇪🇸 Do you feel confident in Spanish… until a Spaniard speaks to you?

That moment of panic has a name: linguistic stage fright.
And you’re not alone—many expats experience it when talking to natives.

The solution isn’t more grammar.
It’s safe practice with someone who corrects you without judgment and helps you relax.

Because it’s not about speaking perfectly.
It’s about speaking with confidence and connection.

✨ Want to practice this in real situations?

Send me a DM and I’ll show you how we work on it inside my SMILE Bootcamp.
