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.
Me as a Teacher
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!My lessons & teaching style

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.5.0

Excellent class today. I like the way he gives corrections for grammar and pronunciation. I like his style of teaching. He doesn't waste your time. I have recommended him and his videos to Spanish learners struggling with listening comprehension and pronunciation.

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.

I appreciate his help in continuing to improve my fluency in speaking Spanish. Even though I might listen to an audio of reading material and repeat after it, I don't always pick up on how the reader is connecting the words. He helps me "hear" and say the words correctly.
Mil gracias por tu ayuda, Miguel.
