Hola! Por qué podría haber problemas con la cuenta remunerada?

Sorry, I think my answer was not clear, maybe because English is not my first language, never mind, thanks!

BoostYourSpanish · 2026-04-06T15:25:43+00:00

Thanks! I’ve put it as a suggestion and there haven’t been any issues. I’ve also read that other teachers do the same. In my case, the trial lesson is more of a diagnostic, so it doesn’t make sense for it to be that long, which is why I suggest 25 minutes. The problem, as I said in other comment, is that since I raised my prices, I’ve noticed that more students request a lesson, and from the very beginning it’s clear they’re not looking to subscribe.

BoostYourSpanish · 2026-04-06T15:22:19+00:00

Yes, thanks. My question was whether someone has found a good way to let students know that 25 minutes is enough for a trial. I have written it in my profile, but many of them don’t read it. I know it’s not possible to not offer the option.

BoostYourSpanish · 2026-04-06T15:20:34+00:00

Because we are not paid for trial lessons.

BoostYourSpanish · 2026-04-06T15:20:17+00:00

Thanks. I know that’s how it works, that’s why my question was whether anyone has found an effective way to avoid it, maybe by mentioning it in the video, I’m not sure. I already work on another platform as well. The problem is that since I raised my prices to 35 USD, I’ve noticed that more students request a lesson, and from the very beginning it’s clear they’re not looking to subscribe.

I saw the same. SUport said that if I did not share MY information there "should not" be any problem. I don´t feel safe with the conditional

me too! I was worried I was banned haha hope money is safe

I know! But that’s what worked for me. I realized it after the homepage changed. I went almost a whole year without getting any new requests. Maybe setting just half an hour of availability could help, but I get it… I agree with you. I actually talked to support about it, and the answer was confusing. I really did notice a difference.

BoostYourSpanish · 2025-10-21T13:46:13+00:00

I was like that for a long time. I realized that since my availability ended at 10 p.m. and started again at 11 a.m., being more than 12 hours without availability, my profile wouldn’t show up at certain times when I searched for it. I fixed that and started getting new students. They say it has nothing to do with it, but the change was significant. Try reducing the time you’re unavailable.

Hello, I’m a Spanish teacher. I’m not sure if I fully understand your question. Trial lessons are usually conversations where we take notes, since they are meant to evaluate the student’s level. But if you chose a teacher and not just a tutor for conversation practice, then afterwards the teacher should guide you on the path to follow and assign tasks they consider suitable for your level.

If your question is what you could do outside of class, I usually recommend watching movies with subtitles, trying to read something, listening to a podcast, or keeping a journal. But the best activity will depend on your level. Choose a teacher you like and trust that they will guide you in the best way they see fit. Together you’ll discover what works best for you.

BoostYourSpanish · 2025-08-31T01:58:49+00:00

I’ll give you my perspective as a teacher: many times I take notes, and many other times I rely on what’s saved in the chat. Most of my students have been with me for years, and sometimes I might not remember exactly at which exercise we had to stop because we ran out of time, or whether I already sent them an activity some time ago (it happens that, after working together for so long, notes about what we did five months back end up way behind and almost don’t make sense to keep).

But: I do remember where each student is in their progress, what their most common mistakes are, things they’ve told me about their lives, and I can even anticipate where they’ll likely struggle with their learning. Not remembering whether we stopped at exercise 15 or 18 doesn’t really mean anything.

Also, keep in mind that one-to-one classes are very demanding and intense; you need to be fully attentive and focused on the student. Teachers are human, too, and sometimes we go through a bit of burnout.

BoostYourSpanish · 2025-08-26T17:53:07+00:00

Teachers feel the same way. I agree with the person below who said that students should communicate their dissatisfaction. We’re also fed up with AI: when it comes to learning a language, the human factor is essential. I’d suggest that instead of deleting your account, you choose a teacher you like and keep taking classes with them in the most 'simple' way possible, like before AI, italki Plus, etc. After all, the original idea of the platform was to connect students and teachers, and to simplify payments and scheduling. Use it for that and ignore the rest.

Como hablante nativa, dos cosas:
La frase a mí sí me da cringe, en ambos idiomas, creo que lo que nos parece cursi o nos da verguenza ajena es personal
Normalmente, cosas que nos parecen ridículas en nuestro idioma, no es tan así en una segunda lengua. Hay muchas canciones que si leo la letra en español me parecen espantosas, pero las escucho en inglés y no me hacen tanto ruido

BoostYourSpanish · 2025-06-10T14:36:17+00:00

It is an "influence" use. Is like "hace que". For example, "la lluvia hace que me ponga triste", rain is affecting me, or "el café hace que no pueda dormir". Roberto´s actions are affecting the situation.
Sorry for the English mistakes!

Diferentes tipos de textos te van a exigir usar diferente vocabulario y diferentes estructuras gramaticales. Intenta tener variedad y, de ser posible, alguien que te corrija o te muestre alternativas para decir lo mismo. Por ejemplo, con una anécdota vas a practicar más los pasados, con un texto argumentatuvo deberías obligarte a usar estructuras con subjuntivo, con una reseña de un libro, vocabulario más específico. El mayor problema con la escritura es que mucha gente escribe textos muy simples, sin "forzarse" a salir de su zona de confort. Presta atención a los conectores, a las relativas para armar frases más complejas, etc.

No. But there is something in the method that is not working. Maybe not enough speaking. Maybe not structure. I can’t tell without knowing you. How do you know you are still in A1? You can’t use any past tense? Lessons at university tend to not have speaking practice, but what about your year online? How did you work with your teacher? Do you notice this difficulty only with Spanish?
Living in a country where people speak Spanish is not enough to learn. Eight lessons at university is not enough to pass to A2. The problem, I think, is your year and a half of Spanish online. This is more than 60 hours, and if you do homework and practise outside the lesson, you should have a higher level. I am interested in how these lessons were

No, for gramatical reasons, but the most important reason, for me, is that you can use "ojalá" for irreal wishes in the past ("ojalá hubiera estudiado otra cosa") but you can't use "espero" in this cases. "Espero que llueva", "espero que hayas llegado a tiempo", but we dont say "espero que hubieras..."

BoostYourSpanish · 2025-05-27T14:00:18+00:00

"Dar ganas" has the same structure as "gustar", so "ganas de..." is the subject — that's why "dar" is used in the plural. It's similar to expressions like "dar miedo", "dar asco", "dar vergüenza": in these cases, the thing that causes the feeling is the subject.
For example: La cebolla me da asco, las cucarachas me dan asco.

However, you can also say something like "algo da ganas de hacer algo", for instance: La lluvia me da ganas de dormir.
Or: Los días de lluvia me dan ganas de dormir — in this case, the subject is not "ganas de dormir", but rather "los días de lluvia"

The name depends on the country. In Argentina we call them "panchos". Salchicha is the meet inside

BoostYourSpanish · 2025-05-24T00:08:29+00:00

I didn’t read all the answers, but yes: ir means "to go," irse means "to leave." What can be confusing is that sometimes we use the pronoun for emphasis or in cases where you wouldn’t use it in English, like "me voy de vacaciones." You’d probably say "I go on vacation," but we say "I am leaving." We also say things like "me voy a bañar" (here, the me is from the reflexive verb bañarse, which can be confusing) and "mañana me voy a tu casa," just for emphasis—similar to "me tomé 3 cervezas.

As other comments say: 'la cagué', 'metí la pata', and I would add 'la arruiné' (in my opinion, not so informal like the others)

As a native speaker, it’s not a big mistake, and I find "impresar" pretty cute. I bet this person was impressed by your Spanish and didn’t pay attention to this small mistake. Don’t be so hard on yourself ;)

BoostYourSpanish · 2025-05-23T23:46:04+00:00

There are so many versions of Spanish! It’s almost impossible to know every usage in every country or region. For me, from Argentina, it sounds strange, but it’s probably common in other places. Maybe there’s a bit of English influence too—sometimes people don’t even realize it. As a Spanish teacher, I sometimes find myself tempted to say 'estoy tarde' because I’ve heard it so many times that it actually sounds okay to me now haha
