Spanish with Andres T.

Hi there

Students regularly ask me, "How do I know what comes after a verb?"  This is a tough question, and it's no surprise that most EFL textbooks don't talk much about it.  There aren't any easy answers but at the same time, there are some guidelines.

In this episode, we dive into imperfective and perfective verbs in Ukrainian. These two verb aspects are crucial for expressing ongoing actions versus completed actions.

Imperfective verbs describe actions in progress or repeated actions.
Example: читати (to read) – Я читаю книгу (“I am reading a book”).

Perfective verbs focus on completed actions or actions that will be completed.
Example: прочитати (to finish reading) – Я прочитав книгу (“I finished reading the book”).

Understanding when to use each aspect will make your Ukrainian more accurate and natural, whether you’re talking about habits, ongoing activities, or completed tasks. Tune in for all the details and examples to level up your language skills!

Most learners think they freeze because of English.
But collapse doesn’t come from grammar, vocabulary, or fluency.
It comes from the internal script that wakes up the moment pressure enters the room.

This episode explores why brilliant, capable people lose their presence in English —
not because they don’t know enough,
but because their nervous system remembers old patterns:
the fear of judgment, perfectionism, mental overload, the shrinking of identity.

You’ll hear why “studying more” never fixes this,
and what learners actually need instead:
a calmer internal operator behind the voice.

This isn’t about language improvement.
It’s about emotional stability in the moments that matter.

💭 Reflection:
When does your English disappear — and what shifts inside you the moment it happens?
