I\u2019m Carmen, one of your virtual teachers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Juan<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd I\u2019m Juan, another of your virtual teachers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carmen<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHave you been studying Spanish for a while, but lose the thread of a conversation because you are thinking about the vocabulary and grammar?<\/p>\n<p>Do you still find it very difficult to understand native speakers?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not surprising. Native speakers speak very fast\u2014 at top speed. I\u2019m sure you already know that \u00abpastilla\u00bb is a pill or tablet.<\/p>\n<p>But the expression \u00aba toda pastilla\u00bb means something else.<\/p>\n<p>Another problem is that native speakers use colloquial expressions that you don\u2019t often find in textbooks.<\/p>\n<p>You need to listen to many authentic conversations in order to be able to participate in conversation with native speakers.<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t worry, with Real Spanish you can improve your listening comprehension, increase your vocabulary, learn loads of useful expressions, reinforce your understanding of grammar, and improve your fluency in Spanish. And, at the same time, you can learn a lot about the history and culture of Spanish and the Spanish-speaking world.<\/p>\n<p>Real Spanish is your website!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Juan<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn Real Spanish you can enjoy some really interesting video-lessons based on clips from TV and movies. These lessons focus mainly on colloquial language spoken at native-speaker speed. <\/p>\n<p>These video-lessons don\u2019t follow a fixed sequence of vocabulary and grammar.<\/p>\n<p>And you won\u2019t have to do boring exercises that have nothing to do with the content of the lessons.<br \/>\nInstead we focus on the vocabulary, the grammar, the colloquial expressions and some of the grammar points that come up in the clips. We also explain the cultural content and background of the clips.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ambos<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSo let\u2019s go!<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carmen Hello, and welcome to Real Spanish.
