Professeur italki depuis le 26 Apr 2016
Sujets d'intérêtHistoireÉcritureLecture
I can help you improve your listening and pronunciation by giving you a solid base on Spanish phonetics (how sounds are made) and phonology (how the sounds vary).
Note: You DO NOT need "Italki Plus". All Italki Plus does is generate AI stuff from the audio recording when you use Italki Classroom. I do NOT recommend using Italki Classroom. Please choose Zoom instead. And I use Google Docs to write down anything you need to remember, so Italki Plus is pointless if you're taking lessons with me.
Before our lesson:
-Get a headset with microphone
-Install Zoom
-Create a Google Document and share it with me.

Moi en tant que professeur
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".
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.
I stress the importance of ear training and correct pronunciation right from the start.
Please watch my introduction video to see a very common mistake learners make. Book a lesson now!

I wish there was a Miguel for every language I was learning. It's very hard to find someone so knowledgable about the sounds of a language and with the ability to precisely diagnose and improve your pronunciation. He's the first teacher on iTalki, I've ever bought a 10 package class with. Super professional, organized, prepared, but also able to go with the flow. Recommended.

Today was my 14th lesson with Miguel. I’ve improved my pronunciation a lot and today I enjoyed doing Q&A with each other in Spanish. I’m starting to put together sentences in Spanish when speaking, which is very encouraging, since I’m still a beginner!

First lesson and I really enjoyed it! We jumped into it and I learned a lot for only being lesson one. Miguel is a great teacher and will figure out a plan that works best for you.

Just finished my first ten lessons with Miguel. The content he’s created and face to face lessons/feedback has helped my pronunciation and ear for Spanish so much! I’m a beginner and want a strong foundation in pronunciation and listening skills, which Miguel is helping me fulfill.
