Today I ran into Gabriel at the gym. I said, “¡Hola hermano, ¿Como va?”. (How’s it going, brother.) He said, “Todo bien. Es bueno verte.” (It’s all good. Good to see you). I responded, “Igualmente.” (Same.) We fist pumped and went in different directions. A year ago I told him I was gonna speak to him in Spanish no matter how bad it sounds. I didn’t even know him prior to that. We talk at length sometimes and he doesn’t care that I’m not very good he’s just happy to be talking in his native tongue. I’m much better now than a year ago because I started removing the fear of speaking in Spanish. What fears do you have and have you confronted them confidently?

@David Rivera I’m very excited about our class tomorrow. I hope to meet you soon. I’m sure we’re going to learn a lot.

One surprisingly effective and helpful way of improving ones listening comprehension is a process called Cross Talk. Its basically a form of language exchange where both people speak in their native language. So Im wondering whether this is something we can incorporate into the SFC? Thoughts on this everyone? If you want to learn more about Cross Talk look it up on Youtube or google Cross Talk language exchange. Also Pablo from dreaming Spanish has an excellent video describing and explaining it.
