Learning with Adriana

My name is Adriana Petersen. I created this page to reach people who want to learn English or Spanish

Teaching was not my career choice but in 1998 I stated working as an English instructor and I fell in love with it. I believe that teaching should be all about the students, about understanding their needs and the way they learn and because I’m a creative person my classes are always entertaining, and challenging. I do everything I can so that they enjoy the experience and I’m constantly looking f

Brain Hack: 6 secrets to learning faster, backed by neuroscience | Lila Landowski | TEDxHobart 09/01/2024

I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did. As you can guess from the title, the video explains 6 things you can do to improve your learning abilities. I became an English teacher in 1998 and years later I began teaching Spanish. Throughout those years I’ve heard many complaints from my students: “It’s too hard”, “it’s so confusing” “ I don’t speak because I don’t want to make mistakes” and to be honest I didn’t always have a good answer for those complaints. Today I understand better how the brain works and I can give better answers to my students. If you are trying to learn a new skill, and it’s turning out to be really hard, listen to this lecture and let me know if it becomes easier. You are never too old to learn a new skill.
Espero que tengas la oportunidad de ver este video con subtítulos en español, en el dan 6 cosas que puedes hacer para mejorar tu habilidad de aprender algo nuevo. Comencé a enseñar inglés en 1998 y años después empecé a dar clases de español. Durante todos estos años dando clases he escuchado a mis alumnos quejarse de que el idioma es muy difícil, confuso y que no les gusta hablarlo por temor a equivocarse y para ser honesta no siempre sabía que contestar. Hoy entiendo mejor cómo funciona nuestro cerebro y puedo responderles a mis alumnos. Si estas tratando de aprender algo nuevo, escucha este video. Nunca es muy tarde para aprender.

Aprender inglés puede ser fácil y divertido. Solo necesitas tiempo y ganas de aprender. Yo estoy aquí para ayudarte.

A few weeks ago; while I was driving, I heard on the radio an ad promoting an app that would teach you how to speak Spanish fast and easy. I was amazed that the examples they used for the Spanish conversation were both wrong. A native Spanish speaker would never have a conversation like that.
There are a lot of programs offering fast and easy ways to learn a language using many different methods but I believe there is an element they are not taking into account…the student. People learn in different ways and have different needs and challenges, so the teaching technique should be tailored for those needs and challenges.
Learning a new language takes time and money but it can also be fun and rewarding. If you want to be able to speak correctly and communicate your thoughts and feelings properly, consider a teacher/tutor. You will have a person that will work with you, and for you.
I have more than 10 years of experience teaching and tutoring English and Spanish. I design my classes taking into account the subjects you like and the skills you want to develop, making them fun and challenging.You can look at my reviews here or on Google. If you want my help, feel free to message me. We can find a time and a price that can work for both of us. Hope to see you soon.

Varias semanas atrás escuché en la radio mientras manejaba, un anuncio ofreciendo un app para aprender español fácil y rápido. Lo que me pareció más interesante fue que la conversación que usaron como ejemplo de la eficacia del app estaba incorrecta. Dos personas con verdadero conocimiento de español nunca hablarian asi.
Existen muchos programas que ofrecen técnicas para aprender español fácil y rápido pero no toman en cuenta al estudiante. Las personas aprenden de manera diferente y sus necesidades y objetivos también son diferentes por lo que la técnica de enseñanza debería ser diseñada para solventar esas necesidades y lograr esos objetivos.
Aprender un nuevo idioma toma tiempo y dinero pero puede ser un proceso divertido y gratificante. Si deseas aprender otro idioma y comunicar tus ideas y emociones correctamente te aconsejo buscar un profesor o tutor. Tendrás a alguien que trabaje contigo y para ti.
Tengo más de 10 años de experiencia como maestra y tutora de inglés y español.

Paul Mirabella said: "Adriana is my 3rd Spanish teacher in the last year. I am not only learning the Spanish language, but I am truly enjoying my lessons. We meet 3 times per week for 3 hours at a time. I look forward to these lessons because she makes it fun and interesting while at the same time challenging me to push myself. She brings a deep understanding of how to teach languages based on her own personal experience and a wide variety of teaching assignments. She is always punctual, prepared, alert to my needs and a delightful person to be with. I strongly recommend Adriana to any English speaker who wants to learn Spanish or to a Spanish Speaker who wants to learn English as a second language"
