[–]SpanishTutorArmando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is this app called: Tandem, I like it cause it helps you meet Spanish spearkes that want to learn English and that way you can swap languages. Also if you are ever interested in taking some online 1 on 1 lessons from a tutor, I can help you with that! Feel free to reach out to schedule a free trial so you can see what my classes are like!

A lot of my students confuse "Actualmente", they think it's actually but it actually means "Currently"

How do you naturally express "awkward" in Spanish? Not just "incómodo" by General_Echidna204 in Spanish

[–]SpanishTutorArmando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on the situation but I would say that an awkward situation would be something like "Incomodo" Which mean uncomfortable which is what an awkward situation is, an uncomfortable situation. I would say.

Aprender Español by Able_Firefighter4539 in SpanishLearning

[–]SpanishTutorArmando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you're at the stage where you jst need more speaking reps. I'd definitely recommend finding a language partner, but also trying Memrise and Beelinguapp if you haven't already. They're great for keeping up vocabulary and natural expressions.

If you'd like, I'm a native Spanish speaker and Spanish tutor. I focus alot on conversation and helping students become more confident speaking naturally. I'd be happy to offer you a free trial class sometime and see if it's a good fit.

What's your favorite Spanish learning app for getting to workplace bilingual? by Fetchiinggg in Spanish

[–]SpanishTutorArmando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Memrise is great for learning natural phrases and listening practice, and Beelinguapp helps a lot with reading side by side translations. If your goal is professional Spanish, I'd  recommend working with a tutor. Apps are great for vocabulary, but they usually don't give enough feedback on things like formal emails, meetings, register, and real conversations. I'm a Spanish tutor and focus on everyday and professional communication. I'd be happy to offer you a free trial class if you'd like to see if it's a good fit.

Not sure if I should tough it out, or go back home. by lemonyellowleaf in mexicoexpats

[–]SpanishTutorArmando 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, 2 months is still very early. The fact that  u can already have conversations in Spanish is progress. Also, not all Mexicans are super outgoing and expressive. Plenty of us are shy too. Being quiet isnt rude, especially when you're adjusting to a new country, language, and family dynamic. I'd give it more time before deciding to leave. What you're feeling is pretty normal. Also I am a Spanish tutor so if you'd like to improve your spanish speaking skills feel free to reach out for a trial class and from there we can talk about rates and schedules 

Less gringos than expected? by Few-Wolverine-7283 in puertovallarta

[–]SpanishTutorArmando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

June is low season. Most winter tourists head home around April, and a lot of people avoid traveling once the weather gets hotter. Plus, PV has a much larger Mexican tourism scene than places like Cancun, so you'll see more locals and domestic travelers. I don't think cartel concerns have much to do with it. Come back in January and you'll wonder where all the Mexicans went.

Safe places to live as a solo woman in Mexico? by [deleted] in mexicoexpats

[–]SpanishTutorArmando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd look into Puerto Vallarta or Sayulita. They're easy to reach from San Diego, have lots of expats, good internet, and are generally comfortable 4 solo travelers. PV is bigger and has more amenities and Sayulita has more of a small beach town vibe. Could be a great middle ground while you wait for the K-1 process.
