👋 Hi! I’m Santiago from Colombia.
I’ve been teaching Spanish to foreigners for over five years, both online and at a language school in Bogotá. I also hold a diploma in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. But my greatest learning experience? Becoming a language learner myself. It helped me truly understand the challenges of learning a new language and how to overcome them.Ik als leerkracht
🧠 Language acquisition, not just learning.
I believe that acquiring a language—rather than just learning it—is the key to lasting fluency. I’ve seen how students who follow this natural approach gain confidence, express themselves more accurately, and understand spoken and written Spanish with ease. That’s why I teach through Comprehensible Input and Crosstalk, and I do my best to provide my students with compelling, comprehensible input that makes learning feel effortless.

❓ What is Comprehensible Input?
✅ Comprehensible Input is language you can understand, even if you don’t know every word. You acquire a language best when messages are slightly above your level but still make sense through context, visuals, or gestures—just like how you learned your first language.
🗣️ Crosstalk is a fun, low-pressure conversation where each person speaks their native language. You understand the other person through gestures, visuals, and context, without needing to translate or switch languages. It’s a na
🎯 Both methods, backed by research, help you gain confidence, understand Spanish effortlessly, and speak it without memorization—just by focusing on meaning.Mijn lesmateriaal

I look forward to my conversations with Santiago. He is a great instructor and will cater lessons toward your learning preference. For me, that has largely been crosstalk and comprehensible input as I'm using Dreaming Spanish to learn. I plan to continue my lessons with Santiago as I progress in my Spanish journey.

Santiago is an amazing teacher. Each session is thoughtfully planned with many opportunities for me to gain comprehensible input (which is my main goal right now). Santiago checks for understanding and uses visuals, videos, and other media to ensure I am engaged. I also appreciate how creative Santiago is when helping me understand a phrase or concept without using English. Santiago fosters a calm and open learning environment where I feel safe and not embarrassed if I make a mistake. Thank you for being my teacher not just in Spanish but also about culture and the world. I always leave each session with something to think about or research more. :)
