About Me
italki teacher since Apr 7, 2022Interest topicMusicTravelWriting
Writing poetry and playing music make me feel alive: I've found what I love and turned it into discipline based on love itself, not obligation. I think that transmitting the knowledge you've gotten on your path is the best way to deepen into your passions. My passions?: words, their history, their sounds, their interactions. Thank you for letting me dive deeper into my mother language and share the treasures with you.Me as a Teacher
I started giving Spanish lessons three years ago to my foreign friends back in Mexico City, who encouraged me to get certified as a teacher after noting the ease with which I can treat difficult grammar and accent topics. After that, I've been giving lessons to people I've met on the road via videocalls.My lessons & teaching style
My main goal is to make you feel comfortable walking through this beautiful language. There's no such thing as a floating abstract set of rules to be learned if there's no way to apply them, therefore, we will always experience language in a context. During the lessons we will practice lots of conversation by means of a variety of materials, such as brief texts about history and culture of the Spanish-speaking world, folk and songs and concise grammar and language rhythm explanations to improve your accent. Furthermore, by use of comparative grammar and ethymology I can help you deduce the meaning of unknown words with ease.My teaching material

Abraham's explanations of tricky gramatical concepts are very helpful to me He utilizes examples and acitivites that expand the boundaries of what I am learning in my Spanish grammar books. I appreciate the thought, planning and creavity that he devotes to each lesson.

Abraham is a rare find as a teacher. Besides having an extensive understanding of the grammatical mechanics of Spanish, he is a poet and musician who appreciates the beauty of the written and spoken word. Every lesson results in new additions to my understanding of Spanish, thanks to Abraham. The materials he utliizes to reinforce new concepts are very useful - and always interesting - to me. He has a broad knowlege of the literature and music of Mexico (and other Spanish-speaking countries) which results in a very colorful hour of conversation! !Buenisimo!
