Eliminating common mistakes
Great emphasis is placed on eliminating the most common mistakes made by Spanish speakers when speaking English. These errors are of various types and can often confuse your listener or impede communication completely.
a) Structural mistakes:
These occur when translating word for word without taking into account the structural differences between English and Spanish.
b) Incorrect word use:
Some words which seem to be identical in English and Spanish have completely different meanings. In addition, many words are used mistakenly for a variety of reasons.
c) Pronunciation:
English pronunciation is often very difficult for Spanish speakers due to the large number of vowel sounds and the manner in which a word or parts of a sentence are either accented or compressed.
We will deal with the most common problems and use a systematic approach in order to improve pronunciation.
