Language learning needs to be more holistic, more intimate and more individual. It has all the brain but lacks heart, body and soul, don’t you think?
If these words speak to you, this masterclass is for you.
When motivation begins to dwindle, and the learning practice feels too controlled and expected, there is little space to wander on lingüistic adventures.
It’s time to rewild your language practice.
Reignite. Rekindle.
Bring the fire back.
So much of your learning practice is optional, and so is so much of your self-expression in Spanish or any non-native language. You get to choose how you learn a language and how you express yourself through it.
