Meet Carmen and Juan, two of our virtual teachers, as they explain our focus on colloquial language spoken at normal native-speaker speed, and demonstrate our instructional approach using animated video and images to aid comprehension. If you&#8217;ve studied Spanish but still struggle in real conversations with native speakers, Real Spanish is for you!<\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"ql-align-center\"><strong>Transcription<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Carmen: <\/strong>Hi and welcome to Real Spanish! I&#8217;m Carmen, one of your virtual teachers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Juan : <\/strong>And I&#8217;m Juan, another virtual teacher.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carmen: <\/strong>Have you been studying Spanish for a while, but lose the thread of the conversation because you are thinking about vocabulary and grammar? Do you still have trouble understanding what native speakers are saying? It&#8217;s not surprising. Native speakers talk very fast\u2014 \u00aba toda pastilla\u00bb. I&#8217;m sure you know that \u00abpastilla\u00bb means \u201ca pill or tablet\u201d in English. But the colloquial expression \u00aba toda pastilla\u00bb has a different meaning.<\/p>\n<p>Another problem is that native speakers use colloquial expressions that you don&#8217;t often find in language textboks. You have to listen to many authentic conversations to be able to participate in a conversation with native speakers. But don&#8217;t worry, with Real Spanish you can improve your comprehension, increase your vocabulary, learn lots of colloquial expressions, reinforce your knowledge of grammar and improve your fluency in Spanish. At the same time, you&#8217;ll learn a lot about the history and culture of Spain and the Hispanic world. Real Spanish is your place!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Juan: <\/strong>With Real Spanish you can enjoy interesting video-lessons based on clips from television and movies. They focus mainly on colloquial language spoken at normal speed. These lessons don&#8217;t follow a fixed sequence of vocabulary and grammar. And you won&#8217;t get bored doing exercieses that have nothing to do with the content of the lessons.\u00a0 Instead we focus on the vocabulary, expressions and grammar points that come up in the clips. We also explain the cultural context.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Both:<\/strong> Let&#8217;s go!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to learn more expressions that mean &#8220;very fast&#8221; or &#8220;flat out&#8221;, you&#8217;ll enjoy our minilesson <a href=\"https:\/\/real-spanish1.teachable.com\/p\/a-toda-cana\">\u00abA toda ca\u00f1a\u00bb<\/a>.
