Spanish tutoring / students / professionals /lifelong learners

So, you nod your head a lot and smile while your instructor explains how to conjugate verbs but you really, really aren't getting how they work at all! Sound familiar? Although you might be puzzled, there’s actually a reason that Spanish verbs have different endings for each tense. Well, are you ready to learn? First of all, why do we even need to change the ending of the verbs in Spanish?    Answer: so that people know who in the world we are talking about! In English, we have those wonderful pronouns like “I, you, he, she, it, we, and they” tell us what or who we  are talking about. We pretty much use them all the time -  yep, can't live without them. The good news is, we also have them in Spanish! The difference is that in Spanish we have the choice to use them or not. We have choices people, choices!

So let's fix that right here, right now with some fabulous tips to accessing your inner Spanish accent! Tip 1  Get a Tutor!  I know, I know, but again ten fold, ten fold!  But this time choose a tutor based on their accent.  If they don't sound melodic when they speak Spanish then they are not the tutor for this mission.

Tip 2  Start to really practice the vibrant pronunciations of the alphab...
