If You Actually Want to Learn Spanish - Then Sign Up

I’ve wanted to speak really good Spanish for ages… I’ve probably been trying to crack Spanish since being about 13 years old (and I’m 23 now) - and I’ve never managed… I was honestly starting to think that I didn’t have the right “brain” for Spanish… nothing ever stuck. I signed up to at least 4-5 of those apps that say things like you just need to learn “keywords, learn these few words that everybody uses and in 2 weeks you’ll be fluent”, I’ve tried Duolingo, I've even had an online Spanish teacher before who I worked with for almost a year, and still, every time I got into situations when I need to have a conversation in Spanish - I was just blank, and just felt dumb.

I signed up to Iguana Abroad for a few reasons, for example I’ve always wanted to go to Mexico, but also as an honest sort of last “roll of the dice” to learning Spanish. What I mean by that is actually being able to have a conversation in Spanish, make friends in Spanish, have the skills to live in a Spanish speaking country (which I'm planning on doing now!) and not have loads of problems with the language. I sort of figured, “if I don’t learn it this time - I guess I never will” … and guess what … I did! I guess the best way to out it is that I left the course more than anything just feeling confident - like I was proud of my level, genuinely surprised with my skills for the first time in my life. I left Mexico and the course actually wanting to approach Spanish conversations that I’d usually have definitely avoided - because I just felt comfortable being there - for the first time ever.

All I can say is that this course actually works for leaning Spanish - and most of the “special trick” style apps etc you get online - yeah, it’s basically all a scam - at least that is how I see it after paying money for them and leaving just feeling worse. For me that was the most important thing about this course - on Iguana Abroad, you will 100% leave actually speaking Spanish, and I’m the best example!
