Listening and accurate pronunciation are the most important things for learning Spanish.
I can help you:
-Better understand spoken Spanish by giving you a solid base on phonetics (how sounds are made) and phonology (how the sounds vary).
-Develop an easy-to-understand, neutral Spanish accent.

In Spanish, "todos" is pronounced ['to.ðos], but English speakers say ['to.ɾos]. You've just changed the word meaning "everyone" for the word meaning "bulls". This type of mistake is super common among native English speakers.
Learning about phonetics can also help you understand native speakers. In natural connected speech, "¿Qué es esto?" is pronounced ['ke'ses.to]. You'll learn phonetics to understand WHY this happens and how pronunciation varies by country. I'll help you acquire a neutral accent that will be accepted anywhere on Earth.
Please watch my introduction video to see a very common mistake learners make. Book a lesson now!

I stress the importance of ear training and correct pronunciation right from the start. For this, I use videos on Spanish phonetics I've created myself and the International Phonetic Alphabet.
If possible, please do the following before our lesson:
1) Make sure your internet connection is solid (ethernet is better)
2) Get a headset.
3) Create a new Google Document and share it with me.
4) For the best audio and video quality please choose Zoom as the communication platform.
Miguel has an excellent grasp of pedagogical technique, and has top-notch videos. While I am just beginning to learn to speak Spanish, I wanted to start by learning the correct pronunciation - I don't want to have to unlearn bad habits later. After just the first lesson, Miguel showed me several mistakes that I had been making. I fully expect that I will have a noticeable accent reduction in a dozen lessons.

Como muchos de ustedes, encontré a Miguel por YouTube, y sus lecciones valen completamente el costo. En cuatro lecciones, estoy más consciente de mi pronunciación, y Miguel es, más o menos (después de tres años aprendiendo), el único hispanohablante al que puedo entender al 90%. Un verdadero profesional.
