This is such excellent advice. I catch myself wanting to express myself in Spanish the way I do in English. I can’t do it yet, because I’m just beginning. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about communicating effectively. Your English is terrific, and you are a wonderful teacher.

[@LingoCoachCorner]

Embrace the challenge and keep it up! Spanish is a long but fun way to go!! Thank you so much for your words about my English haha It's a long way for me as well!

[@HeyPrettyCurls]

This was so helpful. When you said “broken English” to get a point across. It makes sense. I will think in that way now because that’s what happens in any language. when learning a language even a native language children do it all the time this makes total sense.

[@LingoCoachCorner]

Haha broken English it's funny! But yes, prioritize in communication getting the message across over being grammatically correct!

[@karlWheezyTV]

Yea her method is actually dope. Was telling myself to learn as if I were a baby learning words and this was before this video. As someone from the woods in the country learning the correct Spanish and getting to a B1 upper beginner level it DOES WORK!

[@karlWheezyTV]

Granted I only do well in restaurant settings it does translate and it does help you train your ears to hearing faster Spanish dialects

[@ayeshamami]

This broke it down perfectly💯. We always try to articulate in english, and it becomes harder to gain fluency in spanish because we want to know every word and conjugation. Muchas gracias senora!!😁💐

[@charlemos-chat-in-español]

I have just shared this with the community of Spanish learners that I belong to. We live in a very competetive and demanding world and I believe this unconsciously sabotages our ability to become "beginners" when we're adults. In my group we are all learners and we don't teach or correct each other - we just communicate as best we can! It's not a replacement for a teacher but it does enable us to get into the flow of expressing ourselves and discovering the gaps in our vocabulary. And have fun! Thank you so much for giving learners permission to be learners!

[@LingoCoachCorner]

This could be a very long conversation about pedagogy and the educational system where we live, and it's super interesting. I believe adults can be learners at any age; we just need the right approach-one that encourages exploration and the ability to reflect in our learning process.

[@lxw6657]

I'm going to use this same idea when teaching myself to read and speak greek. Simplifying what I mean.

[@-nf9vt]

Spanish is such an incredible language. I have been learning it through Immersive translate and the app is really great for foreign languages

[@michaellafrance6454]

OMG I LOVE YOU!!! Well, yes you and those curls are very easy to look at, but what I really mean is that you hit the nail right on the head with this philosophy!! I have several college degrees and every time I speak Spanish I want to sound like I have an education. I always try to translate these complicated English sentences into Spanish--unsuccessfully. My ego keeps me from breaking down my English thoughts and trying to speak like a child in Spanish. But YOU, fair lady, have made me re-think that entire process and realize a new goal--Just get the message across or as we say in English, K.I.S.S.! (Keep it simple, stupid!). The process is like riding a motorcycle, you never want to outride your skills, meaning that you shouldn't ride faster than you can control the bike. What you said here that got my attention is that one should not try to outthink your Spanish skills, meaning that you shouldn't try to speak faster or smarter than your skills allow. As you learn to navigate better, then you can go faster...On the motorcycle AND with your Spanish!!! Thank you!

[@LingoCoachCorner]

Exactly! I'm a bike rider, so I totally relate to this analogy. When I was learning how to ride, I remember a friend giving me advice about speed and brakes. Haha, you don't want to go fast before knowing how to respond.

[@TerraMarie34]

While I do enjoy the idea of learning like a child and I tend to put my learning style towards that method, the most difficult part is putting it in practice with others. People are more patient with children and will correct them when they are wrong, repeat things or explain things when they don’t understand, speak slower for them, etc. I’ve started going to a Spanish speaking church so that I can speak to people more, even if I didn’t know how to fully communicate. But I’m often misunderstood and instead of correcting me or repeating what they said or talking slower, they will switch to speaking to me in English even if I am attempting to speak in Spanish. Don’t get me wrong, they’re very nice and appreciate that I’m trying to learn their language. But speaking has been so difficult for me because I haven’t found someone who is willing to be patient and actually speak to me.

I'm very much a beginner and this is very helpful. I even see you doing this yourself, where your English is good but imperfect, you say something in a simpler way or maybe without the correct verb tense or whatever, and I have zero trouble understanding your meaning. I hope that didn't come off as insulting in any way. Your English is 1,000 times better than my Spanish 🙂.

[@LingoCoachCorner]

@@jrusko69 Absolutely agreed with you! That's exactly my point, getting the message across is just a matter of choosing a few words, we don't need to be perfect 🫣

[@DavidSchneiderIP]

It's refreshing to see a native speaker teaching Spanish. In most cases, it's ridiculous to learn from a non-native. I have a lot of Hispanic friends here in USA. Of the ones that were not raised here, the few that speak English are ones who did not let embarrassment stop them from using English every possible moment in spite of many mistakes. As you bring out, like kids do. 👍

[@bidibibip]

Muchas gracias! This is so interesting! I've often found that, at the level of Spanish that I'm at right now, I want to communicate on a more complex level but I don't have the skills... and then i keep simplifying in my head, more and more, until I can communicate my idea in a much more simple way, often on the level of a 3-year old :D Also, interestingly, many years ago i bought a course to learn Polish. The concept of this course was to teach Polish as children would learn - purely by repetition and no grammatical concepts. So the teacher would teach whole sentences - by repeating them - from the end of the sentence, syllable by syllable. This was the first time i consciously learned a language purely by repetition with no understanding of the grammar - like a child. Very interesting!

[@LingoCoachCorner]

@@bidibibip Wow! Inspiring, I went to Poland recently and I used to hear a lot of polish in my previous work, so I went there and enjoyed a lot using the words that I learned by imitation and ear, it was great! Every day more and more polish came to me, it felt so great being able to just hear and react according to things that I once figured out purely by context.

[@JWinch]

I definitely agree with the approach in this video. This is exactly how I started speaking Spanish within days of starting to learn the language. Verb tenses and dependent clauses are commonly way way too complicated for your first days of speaking Spanish. I didn't even try to learn verb tenses at first. I just learned the words Ahora, pasado, futuro and said those words first before saying the verb usually in infinitive or simple present tense. And rather than do like natives do, I always used the subject pronoun even if I was trying to conjugate the verb correctly. Mainly because that would help the listener undersand if I used the wrong conjugation. Since then I have learned that there are MANY instances where the correct verb conjugation still does not let you know enough about the subject or even the verb tense. So at the risk of seeming somewhat less educated, I still try to use all subject pronouns and if possible turn them into nouns since even between native speakers (Including in English) pronouns can be confusing or a not perfectly attentive listener may miss them as they are so short.

[@LingoCoachCorner]

@@JWinch Well done!! Using infinitives is an efficient way to get the message across avoiding to get caught in your thoughts aiming the perfect sentence.

[@DaBrute]

Sounding like I'm not smart has by far been the biggest hang-up when I'm talking to a native Spanish speaker. You just have to put your pride aside and risk sounding silly. They usually understand what you're trying to say

[@danstout2184]

This is such a great video and totally resonates. I am doing this nearly every time I speak Spanish and have yet to come across a video that makes sense of it like this one does. I constantly try to say things in Spanish how I would say them in English, and that just overcomplicates the thought process and leads to freezing and sounding even worse. Great examples with the student and child as well. These are so helpful because they're real life examples, and are a good reminder it's normal to struggle with this. Well done!

Omg this is sooo helpful. I just rely on Spanglish lol but this isn’t helpful when speaking to people who speak very little to no English. I’ve been speaking some Spanish for most of my life, since I was a kid so I’m super comfortable saying the stuff that I know but the minute it takes me an extra amount of effort to think of what I want to say, that’s when I fall back on English. I feel like people are going to get frustrated with me if I take too long to come up with a thought so in order to keep the conversation at a natural, fast pace, I only say what comes to my mind immediately in Spanish and will go back & forth between Spanish and English throughout the conversation but I think this is a much better method that will help me to further develop my Spanish. I had a Spanish tutor on italki tell me the same thing. He said my Spanish was great and near native like when I’m in the zone and saying things that I’m well versed in but he said I need to push myself to not rely on English for what I’m not so well versed in and to take the extra time to stutter or look for my next words in Spanish. But you broke it down even better by saying that it’s ok to just get the main points across like baby talk or cave man talk lol.

[@LingoCoachCorner]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It's incredibly helpful for me to reflect on others' learning processes. I hear you about feeling "in the zone."

It's a long story but up until I was 6, I could speak fluent Spanish. Granted it was with the vocabulary of a 6 year old. We lived overseas since my father was in the military but when we came to the states, we spent time in a rural part of the South and were made fun of. So we stopped. Now, I'm essentially starting over. There are phrases that stuck with me because my mother still uses them. But learning again is a challenge. People, even Spanish speakers have said the ability is still there so it will come back. But it's difficult. Especially the usage of pronouns. Learning like a child is helpful especially when I'm asked a question. I can keep it simple. It's just that when I want to convey a thought, the vocabulary isn't there. I have to learn more words. It helps to have a Spanish speaking mother, una novia que habla español, and several people at the grad school where I work. Así que puedo practicar.
