Why do you feel there's a part of your Spanish speaking partner's world where you don't belong to? Spanish courses

My name is Andrea Cartagena.

I am Spanish Tutor and the first thing I want to tell you is the following: My way of working may not work for you.

Nothing is for everyone. In chemistry, formulas will work; in languages and love they will not.

I don't offer you to be bilingual in 30 days.

If I knew where the secret button is that makes everyone speak perfect Spanish, be culturally knowledgeable, feel integrated with their partner's family, I would be retired by now, I would be FIRE and I would touch the same button myself to know more languages.

Immediately receive the ebook De corazón a corazón: Effective Communication in Spanish with Your Partner and Family.

At the end of the ebook, you can confirm whether you are succeeding or failing with your communication in Spanish.

That being said:

I also send emails to help you understand how to integrate into the Spanish world, where you now belong, and stop feeling like an outsider. In every mail I offer my courses and services. If you get tired, you can unsubscribe in two clicks.

If you think it's not that important, let me tell you something:

Did you know that multicultural couples in the United States are 10% more likely to break up than monocultural couples?

    It is not because they use the relationship as a springboard to obtain visas or residence permits.

      It's not because of disapproval from families

    It is not because the exotic is no longer interesting.

There is something much more important that can sour your relationship if you don't identify and neutralize it.

I'll tell you a quick story

My husband is not a native Spanish speaker.

His arrival in my life was like a gift from heaven.

We met in the only Catholic church in Russia's last geographically European city.

I had been living my adventure of studying Russian in Russia for several months.

I was going to church because it was my only connection to the known world.

One day, after a mass, a boy appeared in front of me and said Hola.

From that day on our relationship only grew stronger.

After several months, one day I felt that something was building up and I didn't like it.

I felt how it stopped being pleasant to talk to him.

I sat down and seriously asked myself

I feel like I've found the love of my life, but something is wrong.

I realized that I was focusing all the time on the mistakes he was making when he spoke in Spanish.

Words that don't exist, incorrect conjugations, zero knowledge about the use of the subjunctive, low command of complements.

But, it was not only that....

The first time he spoke to my mother, he addressed her as tú, when she expected him to address her as usted.

The food he was offering me seemed a little strange to me and the food I was offering him too.

The point is that the cultural differences were becoming a burden.

So I decided to sit down and talk to him.

What is happening to me?

I can

     Focus on correcting him with love to overcome challenges successfully.

     Explain in advance cultural situations in which he does not know how to handle himself in order to achieve a feeling of belonging.

     I can go ahead to identify aspects that create discomfort to avoid them and have harmony in the relation.

  Lose the great treasure that multicultural relationships offer because the reward is only available to that minority that is able to step out of the comfort zone.

This is what I know now
