Living in Asuncion, Paraguay

I am originally from Paraguay. I am a native Spanish speaker and grew up studying English as a teenager. In my professional life, I work as a lawyer and a language teacher. Soy Paraguaya. Aprendí Inglés durante mi adolescencia en un instituto especializado. También practicaba mucho escuchando canciones y leyendo libros. Mi profesión es ser abogada, llevo trabajando en la profesión por aproximadamente 6 años (incluyendo la pasantía) y 8 años enseñando. My students would describe me as a bit strict because they know I want them all to achieve their language goals. This often means that giving 100% of myself to helping my students improve is a two way street to achieve their goals. Algunos estudiantes me describen como un poco estricta porque quiero que logren sus metas. Esto significa muchas veces dar el 100% de mí para ayudarlos a mejorar y esto significa que ellos también deben dar lo mejor de si mismos. I like screensharing to teach, I very much prefer using Zoom because I can grant my students control of my screen to make the class more interactive. If the student cannot or doesn’t want to use zoom I can use Skype as well because I can still share the screen. My style of teaching depends on the special needs the student has and what ability I am trying to improve (speaking, reading, writing or listening). I use texts, and music to analyze the content when the students are advanced.

This is where Rocio shines; she is able to explain difficult subjects with patience. Today we went over the use of contractions, and the use of definite and indefinite articles. Specifically, we went over the use of lo and los in situations involving "que", the verbs "ser" and "estar", and as a condition. Talk about confusing but she was able to navigate all this with me. We also went over when and when not to use the indefinite articles un and una depending on modification of the noun, the use of otro, the use of que, the use of sin, and finally when to omit articles with specific verbs. Difficult but awesome lesson.

Really enjoying my lessons with Rocío. Nice mix of grammar and conversation. She is also well prepared with lesson suggestions. Rocío explains how to use Spanish phrases in different settings. Also For me Rocío is very good because she is from Paraguay and I plan to go there soon. She provides excellent recommendations and explains idiosyncrasies in her country

Great! Rocio answered all my questions patiently. She also helped me understand the difference between Ser and Estoy which is not easy. I'm excited for every class.
