Spanish Lessons & Classes in North Queen Anne

Raised in largely bilingual household. B.A. in Spanish from UW (cum laude). English fluency slightly stronger. Extremely high level Spanish proficiency although the minutiae within humor can sometimes be lost. Excellent for those who need help with pronunciation, grammar (clarification of grammatical rules like the difference between a direct object and an indirect object, etc.), conjugation, and conversation.

I teach in a way that is as focused on the grammar as you want to be. I prefer conversational classes, but for many in traditional classes it is the grammar that they are not understanding.

I took 8 years of Spanish classes and lived in Ecuador where I used Spanish on a daily basis.

My teaching philosophy is to help students engage in learning. I find that a personal connection to new information makes it more engaging and meaningful, and students remember it better too. It's also more fun.

That being said, if learning is more readily achieved for your student through other methods, we will do whatever works best. I cater to results, because my ultimate goal is the student's success.

So, are you ready to become bilingual?

I have been teaching Spanish, my native language, for the past 11 years.
I am originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I moved to Mexico to get my Bachelor’s degree and then to US to earn my Masters.
My passion has always been learning new cultures and expand my knowledge.
I currently live in South Florida, where I found the richness of cultures and the need of learning other languages, and that led me to teach my passion – Spanish.
The method I provide is customized and catered to the needs/goals of each of my students.

The lessons include:
-60-minute lesson.
-Online materials.
-PDF book- all levels (if needed).
-Additional materials (grammar resources).
-Additional reading materials.
-Homework: grammar exercises, listening, writing.

I am looking forward to meeting you and enjoy the on-line learning experience together.

I love Spanish and would love to help you reach your Spanish goals! I took some Spanish in college and spent a year and a half learning and speaking the language

I love teaching people how to properly speak Spanish & make sure it is enjoyable! My focus is on full understanding and ability to master basics before introducing more concepts. I also work on enunciation and phonetics to ensure students understand how to say what they are learning correctly. I welcome questions!

I look forward to introducing you to an amazing and rewarding skill!

I have knowledge about all types of literature related to Spanish; from the writings of Bernal Díaz to the realism of Altamirano, the magical world of Márquez and the tenderness of Benedetti, the mirages of Borges and the legacy of Nahuatl epic poetry.

I will show you how to speak appropriately, without pleonasms, without barbarisms or anfobolgías this beautiful Romance language. I have to teach you how to make ancient contractions and expose the origin of each word, as well as customs in speech.

I totally adapt to your disposition and need of the language, in addition I always offer you curious data, smug words and an unparalleled respect. Sounds difficult? The truth is, no.

Hola, hallo, olá, ciao and bonjour !

My name is Viktor Malu and I'm a well-traveled linguist who is passionate about the nature and manifold applications of language. I have either lived or spent significant time in places where the languages I speak are alive and I strive to spark linguistic enthusiasm in the people around me. I have a talent for using existing knowledge of language, which we all have, even unknowingly, to make learning or improving a new language easier. Languages are vivid, fun, and adventurous, they often require patience and thrive with motivation - just like my classes!

I have recently graduated in Applied Intercultural Linguistics (B.A.) from the University of Augsburg, Germany. This is an interdisciplinary program that includes linguistic theory and practice as well as didactics and cultural studies. It allowed me to spend two years stydying and living in the English-, Spanish- and French-speaking Americas and Portugal.
