I always felt a bit self-conscious about my Spanish skills. Despite being fluent in Portuguese, I struggled with the nuances of the Spanish language and never felt confident enough to use it in a professional setting. That is, until I discovered italki.
italki is an online platform that connects language learners with native speakers and certified teachers for one-on-one language lessons. The platform is designed to be flexible and adaptable to each student’s individual learning needs and goals.
One of the standout features of italki is the ability to choose from a wide variety of teachers, all of whom have been vetted and certified. This means that students can find a teacher who is a good fit for their learning style and goals. In my case, I was lucky enough to find Jesús, a teacher who not only understood the overlap between Portuguese and Spanish, but was also able to tailor his lessons to my specific needs and difficulties.
With almost a year of dedication and hard work with Jesús, I can see a massive difference in my Spanish skills. His lessons are highly thought-provoking and exciting, and I feel more confident than ever in my ability to use the language. I couldn’t recommend a better tutor, and I hope to continue learning with Jesús for many more years to come.
Feedback from tutor
“Joshua is a great conversationalist, very intelligent. His Spanish is very good. He speaks Portuguese as well, therefore he has many interference from this language in his Spanish, but I am sure that he will soon be able to separate these two languages more precisely.”
English Translation
“Joshua es un gran conversador, muy inteligente. Su español está muy bueno. Habla portugués también, por lo tanto tiene muchas interferencias de esta lengua en su español, pero estoy seguro de que en breve podrá separar estas dos lenguas con más precisión.”
