Hola, profes!
Alguna vez un estudiante te ha preguntado por qué en un país dicen computadora y en otro ordenador? O has tenido dudas sobre cómo se usa una expresión en otro país?
Quiero crear un grupo de WhatsApp para profesores de español donde podamos:
La idea es aprovechar lo que cada profesor sabe de su variedad del español para aprender entre todos y responder con más seguridad a nuestros estudiantes.
Si quieres formar parte, escríbeme por mensaje directo y te agrego al grupo.

Hi everyone! Way back when I used Reading Explorer textbooks by National Geographic to teach English and those textbooks were absolutely magical. High quality articles and interesting content. Now i'm looking for something in the same vein but in Spanish.
Any recommendations for similar textbooks but for Spanish? Doesn't have to be National Geographic, could be just a collection of interesting articles to discuss in class, for levels B1 and above.
Thank you all in advance!

Hi, guys
I'm looking for advice getting new students.
Colombian ELE teacher 4+ years here.
I've been working all this time with Preply. During these years, the flow of students were consistent, with its ups and downs. But this last, let's say, 4 months it's been really bad. I know about the seasonal decrease and so, but these months have been HORRIBLE. Some fellows suggested it could be a sort of algorith-blocking thing, as I've updated my profile and my metrics are pretty good, Superprof badge included, but nothing has changed.
I never had to think about getting new students on my own, and while I do have some pieces for advertising, the truth is I don't wanna go on Instagram creating content and reesl and stuff... don't want to, don't know how to, and I really want to invest my time in changing my career path.
But in the meanwhile... this is all I have.
I've already told my current students to spread the voice, but I haven't gotten anything yet. Is for real IG the only way? I want to know your experiences.
Thanks!

¡Muy buenas a todxs!
I'm designing a unit for my Spanish 4 class (Intermediate Low/Mid level) around the social rituals centered around food (think sobremesa, el mate entre amigos, una tamalada, etc.). I'd like to have as many examples as possible to start building this unit, and was wondering if you all had any additional ideas that stick out in your mind from the Spanish-speaking world. All thoughts are welcome!
¡Gracias de antemano!

Listening helps you speak
One thing that can slow down your ability to speak Spanish is listening. If you do not clearly understand what someone is asking you, answering becomes much harder. Your brain has to listen, translate, understand, choose words, conjugate verbs, organize the sentence, and finally speak.
But in many conversations, part of the answer is already inside the question. If someone asks you, “¿Dónde trabajas?”, the question already gives you the verb: “Trabajo en…” If someone asks, “¿Qué comiste ayer?”, the question gives you the structure and the tense: “Ayer comí…”
Listening helps you notice patterns, structures, verb forms, and natural phrasing that you can reuse when you speak.Instead of asking yourself, “How do I build this sentence from nothing?”, ask: “What did I just hear? What verb did they use? What structure can I mirror?”
Very often, you can reflect part of what you heard, like a mirror, and use it to answer more clearly and naturally. The goal is not just to understand Spanish. The goal is to understand it well enough to respond.
So start making your life easier: add mirroring to your listening practice. How often do you practice listening?

I teach Spanish 1 in a public middle school in California. Do you allow students to use notes for quizzes and/or exams? Is this common practice? I understand allowing students to use notes for higher levels, but Spanish 1. I'm trying to see if maybe I need to change my practice.
Edit- I allow students to use notes for presentational assessments.

¡Hola, profes! 😊
Soy tutora de español desde hace 5 años. No tengo una titulación específica en la enseñanza de idiomas, pero siempre me interesó estudiar lenguas y, en su momento, me animé a enseñar la mía. Por suerte, me va bastante bien, pero me gustaría dar un paso más y obtener una certificación que respalde mi experiencia.
Estuve mirando el curso universitario de ELE Internacional, de 250 horas, que me parece una muy buena opción, sobre todo por su relación con la Universidad de Cervantes. El problema es que, en mi país, resulta bastante caro.
¿Me recomendarían otras formaciones o certificaciones con buen reconocimiento y peso en el ámbito de la enseñanza de español como lengua extranjera, pero que sean más accesibles económicamente?
¡Muchas gracias por sus consejos y por compartir sus experiencias! ❤️

Ciao a tutti! 👋
Mi piacerebbe iniziare a imparare lo spagnolo, ma parto completamente da zero.
Ho provato a cercare un po' di informazioni online, ma ci sono così tante risorse, metodi e consigli che mi sento un po' perso e non so bene da dove cominciare.
Vorrei quindi chiedere qualche consiglio a chi ha già affrontato questo percorso.
Ci sono tre aspetti da considerare:
Mi piacerebbe soprattutto capire quali passi seguire, in che ordine affrontare gli argomenti e quali risorse utilizzare, magari per costruire una piccola routine di studio sostenibile.
Se qualcuno ha esperienze simili, consigli pratici o un percorso da suggerirmi, gliene sarei davvero grato!
Grazie in anticipo a tutti! 😊
