Hola! Mi nombre es Kyle! I am not new to speaking espanol but I'm on an upper beginner level close to low intermediate level. I have studied on my own on and off for 5 anos. I found italki some years before, but now I have returned! I have taken lessons in a formal idioma class and I use the Pimsleur method. I also use videos from YouTube, espanol books, and study materials. It is good but I would like to also speak and exchange conversation with native espanol speakers daily or weekly. In return I can help you with aprender Ingles. Yo solo quiero aprender mas! I have traveled to Puerto Rico and la Republica Dominicana. Very beautiful countries. I want to speak better for future travels and I want Espanol to be my segundo idioma! Yo quiero to partner with native espanol speakers who want to learn mas Ingles, or a language partner that is disponible, or a maestra/maestro. I will partner with anyone who necesitas mas practice en Ingles. You can help me and I can help you!!

    I'm glad I found this article! Thank you for your explanation. Now I know how I can use "por" and "para" in more ways in my conversations. Thank you for the examples!

    Hello Miguel!

    I have seen this problem before with Skype. Your student (or you) may be using a different version of Skype. It could be an older version and it may be causing a delay when transmitting a message or notifying when a call is coming through. I have also seen that when I do not have my Skype application open on my laptop I won't know if someone calls and I miss the call. I would also ask your student to keep the Skype open and stay logged on but the best suggestion is to make sure the most updated version of Skype is downloaded for both people. I hope this helps!

    Such a powerful article!!! Thank you for posting! In my opinion your number one is an awesome tip! Being shameless and not afraid of making the mistakes is what helps us move forward as a new language learner. That is what kids do. Most times they do not care if they mess up or say something wrong. They approach it like they will always have another chance to do better.

    I purchased an early child learning book in espanol and it has helped me a lot! These children books help a lot to increase your confidence! I know first hand. I've also tried to make my learning fun by doing things differently this time around with my Spanish language journey.

    As adults I think we try harder because we want to be perfect and speaking less than perfect to native speaker is a big hurdle to overcome. So we become afraid, timid, shy or don't try to speaking the new language we have started to learn with native speakers. I am still (and probably will always be for now) a little reserved when I try to speak espanol with others that are native, but every time I do the espanol speakers always tell me that I am speaking well and that I sound really good. If you were to ask me today, I would continue to say that I am still on an elementary or beginner level.  As individuals we are often our own hardest critics.

    Although I am late reading this article, it is a very good one! Thank you for posting! In my opinion it is good to learn "universal espanol" and become comfortable to communicate with anyone from both locations (Latin America and Spain). I hear this to when I use "Usted" and "Ustedes" when I talk to new people but this is the way I learned first. So it is committed to my language memory now. Personally I chose to learn Latin American espanol because I am closer to those countries, travel to them, and because and I live in the estados unidos but I also remember one tip that I read in another article here. That tip was to not worry about pronouncing every word correctly. If I am close in the pronunciation the espanol speaker will understand me. Knowing this I still work on correctly saying words that I learn but I no longer stress if I don't get it exactly correct every time. Pronunciation will only get better the more the words are spoken and the more you use them speaking to native speakers. Once I master some fluency I would love to travel to espana!

    This is some of the best advice!!! Some of these tips are new to me. Thank you for posting! In my opinion, some say Spanish is an easy language to learn compared to other languages and I can agree on this, but for some it is NOT and Spanish IS a complex language when you want to learn how to speak it grammatically correct and communicate with native and other non native speakers. Thank you for pointing this out.

    I never thought to use the things around me and say their names in Spanish. Starting today I will do this. This will help greatly when learning random words in Spanish that are not in a conversation and keep it FUN!! Thank you again for posting these tips!

    How do I pronounce the Spanish letter "V".... How do I pronounce the Spanish letter "V" ? I am a native English speaker and when I hear it, it sounds like a "B". For example the word "vamos" and many others. I don't know if I should pronounce it with a "B" sound or a "V" sound. Any help on this would be great! Thank you!

    Hello Emellid how are you? I found your profile by searching for informal tutors. I would like to partner with you to learn Spanish but I think your prices per hour are a too high :) I am more than willing to pay for the time to speak and learn from an actual person that is a native speaker but are your rates negotiable? If so let me know. I saw that you are a new tutor and your looking for new students. I saw your introduction video and I like the energy you showed! I would like to learn Spanish from you!
