I thought I’d never be able to speak Spanish

“I took years of Spanish classes in school, but I always lacked confidence to speak the language.

I thought I’d never be able to speak Spanish. But Live Lingua has given me a safe space to learn and practice.

I’m excited to see family and friends in Puerto Rico this summer - and to speak with them confidently in Spanish.”

Isabella D.

I actually enjoy learning the language

“My tutor from Live Lingua cleared up things I was always confused about before.

Now I feel like I can understand, speak, read and write in Spanish.

I’m a lot more confident speaking Spanish. Plus I actually enjoy learning the language!”

Roxanne L.

I look forward to every lesson no matter what kind of week I'm having

“Here’s what I find terrific about Live Lingua:

#1 I chose the kind of Spanish I wanted to learn.

#2 The instruction is tailored to my unique goals and interests.

#3 My instructor is a skilled teacher in Spanish.

#4 I look forward to every lesson no matter what kind of week I'm having. ”

If you’ve been wanting to speak Spanish with the same level of confidence as someone who’s been learning it for years - without…

…endless months of grueling study…

…struggling to find language classes to fit around your day job…

…messing with your family commitments…

…throwing your day-to-day life into disarray…

…or falling off the wagon before reaching your goals…

…then this message is for you!

My name is Ray Blakney. And until a few years ago I had a love/hate relationship with language-learning.

You see, as a youngster, my family lived a ‘nomadic’ lifestyle, meaning I moved countries like a man on the run! And so I was constantly surrounded by a chorus of different languages. But much to my frustration I was never able to speak any of those languages with confidence

Why? Because - no matter where I took language classes - I was force-fed a diet of traditional, one-size-fits-all teaching. And I HATED it! I can still remember those lessons. All the…

…rote-learning verb conjugations…

…military-style vocab drills…

…and dry-as-a-bone reading comprehension exercises…

And guess what. Those dull as dishwater language classes practically killed my desire to speak a foreign language! Until life forced my hand and…

…I Had No Choice But to Start

Speaking Spanish!

Now, I may not have mastered speaking French…Spanish…Japanese…or any other language at school. But if there's one thing I learned from my international upbringing - it's that the ability to communicate with other humans in their native language is the key to:

Better cooperation at work

Closer family relationships

Building tighter communities

Not to mention the joy you experience from discovering new cultures!

Which is why - when I moved to Mexico for work - I was determined to become a confident Spanish speaker (even though I’d never successfully learned a language before).

At first, I tried to teach myself Spanish through audio courses and phrase books. But no matter what tools I tried - nothing seemed to stick. Or I’d get bored with the material - and quickly fall off the language wagon.

I Needed a Better Way to Become a Confident Spanish Speaker

Finally, after months of banging my head against a wall…and barely being able to string a Spanish sentence together - I met a native-speaking, private tutor who changed everything.

Because less than three months into our one-on-one tutoring sessions, I was finally able to confidently communicate with Spanish-speaking locals like never before. But that’s not the best part!

I couldn’t believe it, but I was actually having FUN while learning the language. Heck, I even looked forward to digging into Spanish grammar thanks to my new tutor. And that’s when I came to a game-changing realization about speaking Spanish.

It’s that ANYONE can become a confident Spanish speaker IF they’re immersed in the correct learning conditions. Think about it this way…

How much more likely are you to retain new information, stay on track with your studies, and achieve your Spanish-speaking goals - if you’re having a blast while learning?

The Problem With Most Language Learning Programs

But here’s the problem. Most language-learning programs are not built with positive learning conditions in mind. In fact, most tutors and programs will try to teach you Spanish via one-size-fits-all language theory and vocabulary lists.

Which means most tutors and teaching systems coach you to memorize vocab, grammar and set phrases (just like at school)…

…when they should be focusing on the essential conditions AROUND mastering Spanish like:

Customizing teaching material to match your unique learning style.

Scientists at the University of Northwestern discovered 3 key learning styles. These are visual, auditory and kinesthetic. And here’s why these learning styles are important.

Everyone has a unique “Learning Style DNA”, based on their preference for learning through images, sounds or hands-on doing.

It means the Spanish material that makes ME speak Spanish with confidence will probably NOT be the same material that gives you your best results.

And so, no matter what your goals, the secret to your success lies in your educator teaching you in a way that matches your unique Learning Style DNA.

Helping you apply your language skills to your real-world situation.

Let’s face it, barely anyone chooses to learn Spanish for the love of memorizing grammar rules.

In fact, 99% of adult language-learners are motivated to speak Spanish because of a specific lifestyle trigger like:

Getting a new job in a Spanish-speaking country

Moving abroad in retirement

Being promoted to manage a Spanish-speaking team

Welcoming new Spanish-speaking relatives into their family

It means every language-learner has a unique goal when it comes to confidently speaking Spanish. And as a result, no two people’s needs are ever the same.

Which is why language tutors and programs must help you to apply language theory to your real-world situation (instead of drilling you on generic, stock phrases).

Building conversational confidence through topics that get you excited to speak Spanish.

Want to know the biggest needle-mover that FINALLY let me become a confident Spanish Speaker?

It was having FUN while learning. (Instead of dreading each session with my tutor…and dragging myself through the journey to conversational confidence).

And I know I'm not the only one who struggles to stay on track when learning feels like a drag. Studies show when language lessons are fun students are more likely to stay motivated and engaged.

Plus happy language-learners experience more exhilarating a-ha moments, which boost their results - and keep them firmly on the study wagon.

Pairing you with the perfect fit teacher.

I can still remember my school French teacher. He and I were like chalk and cheese (and not in a good way).

For starters, I realize his preferred teaching style was the polar opposite to my learning style. Plus, our personalities were way out of alignment. And as you can imagine this student-teacher mismatch was a recipe for frustration, snail-paced progress and unmet goals!

Now the reality is, this kind of mismatch is neither the tutor nor the student’s fault. But that doesn’t stop clashing personalities and conflicting learning styles from sabotaging your success. Which is why partnering with the right tutor is as important as filling your mind with the right content.

Making classes slot seamlessly into your life.

If you’ve ever found yourself racing across town for a classroom-based Spanish lesson…

…or if you’ve ever struggled to fit organized group classes into your busy schedule - you’ll know how tough it is to stay consistent when lessons feel like another thing to add to your to-do list.

In fact, scheduling issues are one of the biggest complaints I hear from language-learners who’ve been forced to give up on speaking Spanish. And it makes sense.

I mean life gets busy. Which is why having a seamless “lesson-to-lifestyle fit” is one of the simplest ways to master spoken Spanish.

So the fact of the matter is this. Grammar drills and vocab lists will only get you so far when it comes to speaking Spanish.

And it’s only when you’re fully-immersed in the right learning conditions that all the tough-to-remember grammar and vocabulary will naturally fall into place (even if you don’t consider yourself to be a ‘natural’ linguist).

The REAL Reason Why I Failed to Speak Spanish

Like I just mentioned, after years feeling guilty for failing to master a foreign language, I finally discovered the REAL reason why becoming a confident Spanish speaker had escaped me for so long.

It wasn’t because I was incapable. It was simply because the learning conditions I’d been given were setting me up to fail!

Which is why I developed a system to help immerse other language-learners in the right conditions to gain Spanish-speaking confidence…without sweating it out to achieve your goals.

I can tell they spend quality time understanding how to help me improve

“I have 2 regular tutors - and I can tell they spend quality time understanding my strengths and weaknesses to help me improve.

At first, I was worried about low availability of class times.

But I could probably take 15 hours a week with no problems!

I highly recommend”

Doug

We always - without fail - come away from our classes saying we had fun!

“I’m not gonna lie - there are days when my wife and I don’t really feel like taking a class.

But we always - without fail - come away from our classes saying we had fun!

Our Columbian teacher constantly challenges us and finds fun ways to build our vocabulary and fluency - like singing songs. Our teacher calls this ‘concert time’!”

Karen B.

Build deeper relationships with Spanish speakers

thanks to your new understanding of their beloved local customs and secret linguistic quirks. (It’s these little things that matter. But they’re also the things most language students will never discover)

My Teachers Are Wonderful!

“I’m 64 years old and it’s so nice to learn with Live Lingua.

Work

Travel

Inside this program, our hand picked tutor will guide you through the 4 Pillars of Spanish-Speaking Confidence.

Pillar#1

Establishing Foundations

Becoming a confident Spanish speaker must always start with the fundamentals. And that’s why we built the Zero to Conversational System around the MCER framework. This is an internationally-recognized system that defines your level of language competency.

And by the end of this 12-week program you’ll achieve MCER Level A2 status, which means you’ll successfully be able to:

Pillar#2

Applying Language to Life

What’s the best way to cement your new language skills and put them to use? It’s by applying your newly-acquired vocabulary and grammar skills to real-life situations.

As I mentioned earlier, each Zero to Conversational student has a unique set of learning objectives. Which is why your private tutor will prepare you for the scenarios you’ll find yourself in, through relevant conversation practice.

It means you get to talk about the topics that matter most to you like:

Work-based situations
Family encounters
Travel
History
Politics
Sport

Simply tell us your goals and interests - and your private tutor will steer your conversation topics around the subjects you care about.

Pillar#3

Sounding Like a Native Speaker

“Accent Embarrassment” is real. And it never ceases to amaze me how many profoundly capable students shy away from Spanish conversations - because they worry their accent is off.

So first let me tell you this. 99% of native Spanish-speakers will be thrilled just to hear you speak their language (no matter what level you’re at). And secondly, mastering a Spanish accent is easier than you think.

All it takes is consistent exposure to the language through audio resources, listening to native Spanish speakers, and regular access to a safe space to speak.

Which is why the Zero to Conversational program provides much more than just language theory. And as part of the experience you’ll also receive everything you need to overcome Accent Embarrassment including:

Foundational pronunciation instruction
Our 4-part phonetics video course
Curated audio learning recommendations

Pillar#4

Building Conversational Confidence

In my years working with Spanish language students I’ve seen two core levers that send conversational confidence levels soaring. These are:

#1 Safe, regular speaking opportunities- where you can practise new vocabulary and phrases, and role-play real-life situations with like-minded students.

#2 Seeing concrete proof of your progress through regular, stress-free assessments. Studies show that students who see themselves progressing through a structured curriculum are more likely to stay engaged in the experience. Plus, they’re significantly more likely to achieve their goals. And that’s the reason why the Zero to Conversational Program includes:

Progress reports
And student advisor check-ins

By the end of this program, you’ll have everything you need to confidently speak Spanish at work, at home, or while traveling anywhere in the Spanish-speaking world.

Being Able to Learn from a Native Speaker from Mexico is Amazing
