I have worked and played with language all my life, especially after learning English as my fourth language at age 20. Over the years, I have enjoyed teaching and accent coaching people who want to develop and improve conversational skills in my native language, Spanish. My services are designed to complement and maximize your existing Spanish learning.

 

A core principle in the work I do is relevance: I tailor terminology and conversational strategies that enable you to improve on what you already know. Tactics include a sharp focus on diction & melody, enunciation (articulation), intonational emphasis, pitch movements, and phrasing and stress patterns. This will greatly enhance your pronunciation and intelligibility, allowing you to better recognize and use conversational cues.

 

By speaking Spanish using your own real life scripts (I help you write them in both English and Spanish) you will increase your effectiveness and comfort level in social and business conversation, and will be able to put to use all that Spanish grammar and vocabulary you've been developing.
