this is the #1 most experienced conversation when traveling... it's also the EASIEST conversation starter: - introducing yourself - saying where you're from - asking them the same! This is PERFECT practice for our Layer 1b basics, working with the top 40 words ✨ (cheat sheet below) 𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚'𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚: 1. Share a photo of your hometown/country 2. Introduce yourself AND where you're from Don't worry about perfect grammar, we're all learning together! Use these Layer 1b phrases: - "Yo soy..." (I am...) - "Yo soy de..." (I am from...) I'll go first: "¡Yo soy Valeria y soy de Puerto Rico" 🇵🇷 Poll Question: Where do you want to visit next to practice Spanish? Can't wait to see all your beautiful hometowns and travel plans! hope ya'll have an AMAZING day 💕 p.s. we got soooo many peeps visiting spain soon! Glad to see @Churnet Pieters is back and prepping for October adventure 😌 p.s.s if you want to visit Mallorca with us in May, check this out!

I am very excited to start this method. I hope it is the missing part to my learning journey!

I wanted to share something that happened and maybe encourage you on your journey. I was at a government office filling out some forms and there was a Spanish speaking woman there with her daughter trying to file some paperwork. She spoke no English and the clerk did not speak Spanish. I told her I spoke some Spanish and asked her if I could help. Both she and the clerk were very grateful that with my limited Spanish I could help resolve the situation. I came away feeling happy that I was able to use what I studied almost a year for to help others and so grateful be able to use it in real life.

The play-all audio on the cheatsheets is UBER COOL ! As I get better, I find myself wanting it to go faster though. Would love a couple of speed choices or a slider. (though probably a couple preset options simpler to use on all device types). Regular, Fast and HotHotHot :)

Hi everyone! New here and starting with Layer 1a! When listening to the voice speaking the cheat sheet words, Gracias is pronounced with the c clearly spoken. The same when playing the flashcards audio. By comparison, the conversation clips seem to change that c to a silent g (or maybe something else)... but it sure doesn't sound like a clearly spoken c. Should we be trying to mimic the audio in the cheatsheet-flash cards, or in the examples? Or.. does it not matter so much? I don't want to get held up on these details if they are not important, but I also would like to get the basics right so I feel confident to speak with real humans soon :) Loving the layers method overall ... totally clicks! 🕺
