As someone who’s learning a language too—English—I know it’s not easy. No language is easy to learn. But it can be fun. If I could give you only one piece of advice, it would be this: Speak. Speak even if you don’t know the exact word you’re looking for. Instead of switching to your native language, force your brain to find another way to explain it. Describe it. Compare it. Use examples. That’s called paraphrasing, and it’s one of the most valuable language skills you can develop. Talk to yourself. Out loud. Tell yourself what you’re doing, what you’re going to eat, what your plans are for the day or the week. It may feel a little strange at first, but it works. Every time you learn a new word, don’t just read it once and move on. Repeat it. Create sentences with it. Think of different situations where you could use it. The more you actively use a word, the more likely it is to become part of your vocabulary. The goal is to train your brain to process, understand, adapt, and communicate. Making mistakes is part of learning. Every fluent speaker has made thousands of them. Sigue hablando!!

Hoy salí a celebrar el aniversario de cuando empecé a tomarme el español en serio. ¡Ya pasó un año! Pude platicar con la mesera, probar varios sabores de agua fresca y pedirle recomendaciones de qué ordenar. 😭😭 ¡Hace un año era imposible!

Ramón conducted a master class in teaching today. He led us through a series of questions that were relevant to us, and thus modeled a natural conversation. We are never overcorrected; we focus on only one species of error, for example verb conjugations or sentence connectors. I can’t recommend Ramón’s intermediate classes enough!
