Teaching Spanish in italki
From an year ago I'm teaching Spanish in italki. For me it's been a very nice experience because the subject more important is to be knowing more and more people from differents countries. I'm very proud of my students: they are punctual, aplied and, above all, very empathyc people.
May be learning Spanish seems easy but they have got its problems to conjugate verbs (the terrible subjunctiv!). They make mistakes but I think that the level of small error is not important.
I'm very pleased with them and I feel grateful with their efforts!

Música para aprender español
"Donde música hubiere, cosa mala no existiere" solía decir Alfonso X el Sabio, una de las figuras más importantes de nuestra literatura y de la lengua española. Creo que a través de la música se puede conocer un idioma y dominar todos y cada uno de sus usos. En definitiva, conocer la cultura hispánica.
