1
Learning to listen
Learn to listen to Spanish in a productive way. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand at first.
Your brain processes only the sounds that are familiar to it.
If you can’t hear it, you won’t understand. If you don’t understand it, you won’t learn it.
Your brain will become familiar with the sounds, the rhythms, the repeating patterns and make them its own.
You will end up understanding the message unconsciously, acquiring Spanish to speak it later.

Creation and association of mental images.

Be active! Forget passive attitudes!
Coexist! Share! Make a mistake! Speak!

Not obsessing about precision
You have to be tolerant with your mistakes.
