We recently did an interview with John Fotheringham of LANGUAGE MASTERY on the fear of making mistakes and Spanish accents. Listen in to a fascinating and very well structured series of questions and answers in John’s podcast.
Gordon Smith and Cynthia Durán are the dynamic duo behind LightSpeed Spanish, where they teach people Spanish through courses, books, and online lessons.
In this conversation, we discuss:
- How Gordon fell in love with Spanish, how Cynthia fell in love with English, and how they fell in love with each
- How to choose which Spanish accent to learn and tips for mastering Spanish pronunciation
- The most common mistakes that English speakers make when learning the Spanish language
- How to overcome the fear of making mistakes and get more speaking practice anywhere in the world
- Their favorite Spanish language learning resources, including TV shows, Netflix series, etc.
Find out about the fear of making mistakes in Spanish and why it’s not that scary!
