Hi! How's it going. I am Maria and I live in Colombia. I am 29 years old. I am a student of English and Portuguese. I love teaching.
I have also gone through the frustrations that we all go through when we are learning a new language, so I will be very patient in our classes.
Many people take years to become fluent in a language, but it is because they only learn grammar, but never practice speaking with a native speaker. Since I am a native Spanish speaker, I can explain real Spanish to you, the one we speak on a daily basis.
so, don't think about it, I'll wait for you soon.
