Learning Spanish

These are my recommendation to improve your spanish fastly:

Learning Spanish

1.  Learn the basic, first you will need some grammar organization, exercises and a good teacher who help you to understand the rules and the base of our language.
2. Why not learn in an spanish speaking country? Living with an ecuadorian family in Montanita like homestay helps you a lot to improve your knowledge, vocabulary, learn about the culture and love our country.. as much as we do!
3. Practice, practice your new skills, no matter if is perfect or a rusty spanish, talk with the people, know our culture, go to the store and ask for something, Ecuadorians, we are really open to the tourist, patient and friendly
4. Read,,, read all the things that arrives to your hands, read the instructions on the shampoo, the bottle of water, the lotion or cream, try to find out what are the instructions in spanish and with time you will remember the vocabulary. Read the flyer that people give to you on the streets, everything helps
5. Tv, normally our parents says is not educative but it is! if you use it like a teacher or instructor, you can start watching movies in english with subtitles in spanish, then watching movies in spanish with subtitles in english, finally watching movies in spanish without subtitles. If movies is to much for you,, try with tv shows, novels (soap poppers, internet videos.
6. Listen.. music is not just relaxing is also educative, dance with the tropical ritmos or romantic songs in spanish, make relation between them. Create your own methodology.
7. Youtube offer a big gamma of videos with the translate in spanish at the bottom.

About me...

My name is Gabriela Estrella, I am 29 years old. I was born in Quito the capital of Ecuador, but I am living in Montañita the beach attraction of Ecuador for almost 3 years.

I am qualified Spanish teacher, I have been working per 6 years teaching my language to foreign who visit my country. Couple years in one of the most famous schools in Quito and few years by myself. Now I am running my own business here!

I have two degrees, I finished law school and I studied communication like my second degree, I am fluent in English with some knowledge of French.

My personality (extremely important when choosing a tutor): I'm honest, hard-working, dynamic, creative, and always looking for new challenges. (My knowledge about politic, society, culture and law, are a really big support in my actual job, my students never be bored for our practices and conversational time, for a Spanish teacher is really important to know some all this things to make interest conversation and I love to learn some about new cultures and places that I never have been before, but some day I would love to go.
