Spanish Pronunciation & The Crazy Life of a Teacher — with Miguel:
🎙️ In this episode, I sit down with Miguel @Profedeespanol_, a Spanish teacher from Spain specialized in pronunciation and phonetics.
We talk about why he decided to restart his Instagram account from scratch, what he discovered when moving from Spain to Colombia, and why he believes pronunciation is not only about sounds but about confidence.
Of course, we also share funny anecdotes from life as online teachers, discuss stereotypes between countries, the challenges of building a career teaching Spanish, and how accents (Spain, Argentina, Colombia) shape the way students experience the language.
It’s real, honest, and full of insights (and laughs) for anyone learning Spanish.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
