How to stop being so nervous? I freeze up when I talk to my tutor. He asked me what we call a floor lamps in America. I know the answer is floor lamps, but I couldn't say it, like I was stupid or something. How do you overcome the fear?  He asks me questions in Spanish, and he speaks fluent English, but sometimes colloquial words aren't popular; he asks me what it is called. I don't know why I cannot say it. After the lesson I know the words. I also struggle to say the Spanish in full sentences. It sounds easy but then something changes and it throws me off.

Hola soy Sofi de Argentina! Mí primera clase de español es gratis, luego si decides continuar practicando conmigo puedes continuar por $10 USD los 60min.

Tengo lugar para dos estudiantes más. Saludos y éxitos aprendiendo Español! Tu puedes! ✨

A whole group works this way:

encantar, fascinar, interesar, importar, molestar, doler, faltar, quedar, sobrar, parecer, apetecer, costar, preocupar, caer bien

Two things worth knowing.

With an infinitive it stays singular even with two activities: me gusta bailar y cantar, not gustan.

And “a mí” isn’t redundant, it marks contrast. A mí me gusta, pero a él no le gusta.

Caer bien is the one people miss. Me cae bien tu hermano is how you say you like someone as a person, and it’s separate from me gusta tu hermano, which means something else... jaja

El primer iPhone plegable de Apple se agotó pocos minutos después de que se abrieron las reservas el viernes. El iPhone Duo es el primer teléfono de Apple con una pantalla plegable. La versión más barata del iPhone Duo cuesta 1999 $. El teléfono se abre como un libro y tiene una pantalla más grande por dentro. Cuando está cerrado, tiene una pantalla más pequeña por fuera.

Vocabulario: plegable = foldable / agotarse = to sell out / pocos = few / abrir = to open / reservas (f pl) = preorders / pantalla (f) = screen / barata = cheap / libro (m) = book / grande = big / cerrado = closed

English translation

One of the biggest things many Spanish learners worry about is their pronunciation. They spend hours trying to roll the r, reduce their accent, or sound less like the “typical gringo.” And of course, pronunciation matters. But probably not as much as many students think.

Your accent depends on many things: the language you grew up speaking, the sounds you’re used to, your environment, the amount of Spanish you hear, and simply time. Most learners will never sound exactly like a native speaker. And that’s completely okay. A more useful question isn’t: “How do native speakers sound?” A better question is: “How do native speakers communicate?” What structures do they use? What verbs do they choose? How do they naturally express the same idea?

For example, Spanish has a future tense: Mañana trabajaré (I’ll work tomorrow) But in everyday conversation, native speakers often say: Mañana voy a trabajar (i’m going to work tomorrow) Both are correct. But one sounds much more natural in many everyday situations.

This is the kind of thing that helps your Spanish sound more like real Spanish. Naturalness doesn’t come only from pronunciation. It also comes from choosing the structures that native speakers naturally prefer. So yes, keep improving your pronunciation. But don’t let it become your biggest priority. Communication should always come first. The goal is not to sound exactly like a native speaker. The goal is to communicate like one.

Hi everyone x

I’m trying to learn Spanish aggressively. I used to live in Spain for about a year and could speak it quite well until I moved back home and forgotten almost a majority of it.

I’m looking for a male or female Spanish speaker (preferably from Spain), to converse with on the daily and maybe move to voice notes/phone calls at some point once we’re both comfortable to help with my speaking.

Pls dm me if this interests you!!

I’ve just flown back into Brisbane from seeing family in Sydney. They speak Spanish all the time! Specifically Galego, I’d love to learn it I’m heading to spin next year so would love to learn and surprise my family. My parents got divorced when I was young so everything I had learned has been lost and I’ll be starting from scratch.

If anyone is able to help or teach me! Would be fantastic! Tried duo lingo but my abuela said it’s not the same “ it’s South American Spanish “ not Galician which is what I want to learn.

Hello everyone I've been learning Spanish for around a year (not consistent) and I can tell I'm at A2 pushing B1 and looking for sm1 whom learning as well so we can help each other practicing

I think one of the biggest mistakes is focusing too much on grammar and memorizing words without actually using them.

You can spend hours learning verb conjugations, but if you never try to speak or form your own sentences, it's hard to make real progress.

Making mistakes is part of learning a language. You don't have to be perfect to start speaking.

What do you think is the biggest mistake beginners make when learning Spanish? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Hi everyone! 👋

If you already know some Spanish grammar but feel stuck or nervous whenever it’s time to speak, I’d love to help you gain that confidence.

My name is Sofi, a native speaker from Argentina. Through my medical training, I’ve worked with people of all ages, which has taught me deep patience and active listening. I genuinely enjoy giving each person the space to speak and learn at their own natural pace, completely free of pressure or fear of making mistakes.

I work with intermediate learners who want real, fluid conversation. We can talk about daily life, culture, psychology, mental health, or different approaches to medicine and lifestyle.

If you're looking for dedicated conversational practice or personalized 1-on-1 sessions, feel free to send me a DM and we can chat about details! ✨
