I was a Spanish teacher for 15 years and I usually cringe at the terrible Spanish that the Americans attempt to speak on the show. Don’t get me wrong: they are still understandable, but the sig other is listening to some of the worst grammar… (imagine a 4 year old speaking English)
Clayton, however, has this one impressed. He has made few grammatical errors and has really good oral proficiency and clear oral comprehension. He is great at spontaneous conversation.
I need to know what language learning app he used! I want to work on my French and German.
She conjugates everything in the present tense and her accent makes me laugh out loud. But she speaks so confidently while she’s clearly still learning which is admirable. So short answer: no, but I feel badly saying that.
Yes, I LOVE her confidence with it!! Seriously, cannot emphasize enough that is half of the problem with most people learning another language… But hearing her use every verb in present tense or merely the infinitive is driving me crazy!!
I don’t get accent criticism. It was a disconnect I had in school with teachers who said we needed to speak with their accent. I’ve got a goofy ass Baltimore accent but when I speak Spanish to my in laws they know what I’m saying - just like how when they’re speaking English I can work with their accent.
