This week, I had a full-blown conversation in an Uber with a native Spanish speaker, and for the first time I just went for it. Was it a bit rocky? Sure, but I did it! I even cracked a joke in Spanish that made my driver laugh. There’s no better feeling! That moment was possible because of my incredible coach, Alberto. I’ve been working with him for about 2 ½ months, and I can’t thank him enough.For sixteen years, I’ve been surrounded by Spanish (my husband’s first language is Spanish), but I simply could not and would not speak. I could understand some, but never form my own words, let alone conjugations or sentence articles. Alberto has helped me build a solid foundation. He’s incredibly patient, but also a genuinely fun and kind person who makes our 3x/week lessons something I look forward to.I still have a long way to go, but in just two months I can already have basic conversations and I’m understanding more of what’s said around me at family gatherings. I’ve tried and abandoned countless methods over the years, and Spanish55 is the one that finally clicked.To get here, I’ve been doing lessons three times per week, practicing with my husband, using flashcards, and occasionally dipping into Spanish apps, so about 5–10 hours per week of learning and practice. The progress has been amazing.Spanish55 is absolutely incredible, and Coach Alberto is the best. I can’t wait to see where I’ll be in the next 6 months.... And in a year!
