im a native spanih speaker i want to practice english is better choose a teacher who speaks spanish or not?

Hi im looking for suggestions, pros and cons about learning a second languaje with a teacher who knows your native languaje.

 

I think that if my teacher does not understand my native im forced to express myself in the second languaje but at the same time in i need to receive and instruction maybe on the second languaje a will lost it.

 

So italkers, what do you think?

Looking at your fairly good English level, I'd say you could most likely get away with a teacher who doesn't speak your native language.
 
Alternatively, you could look for a teacher who knows your native language, and also has expertise in getting students to speak English most of the time. Another option would be to use several different teachers.
