My name is Agnieszka but in Spain, they call me Agni.

Hello! ¡Hola!

Greetings from a Polish expat in Barcelona! About my career, I learned Spanish while living in Spain. I studied it both in an informal context, thanks to the patience of my friends, and in a formal context, in classes preparing for certifications and specialized exams. Also, I learned a lot while studying Spanish language teaching at the University of Barcelona. My path to mastering the language was not classical, neither was the one to teaching. Before considering language teaching seriously, I worked in a multinational company where I had the opportunity to live the language in a natural context and realize that teaching is something much more rewarding for me.

FOR WHOM?

MY OFFER IS ADDRESSED TO YOUNG AND ADULT LEARNERS WHO:

are looking for an opportunity to freely talk in Spanish about everyday topics, for which I offer conversation classes (discussions) enriched with exercises to consolidate the acquired skills.

want to organize and deepen their knowledge of the Spanish language in the form of a course in which we develop the ability to understand and produce written and oral texts with a communicative attitude.

CONVERSATION CLASS:

 

It’s not just a casual conversation. During such classes I watch carefully how my interlocutor speaks. We correct not only grammatical errors but also work on proper pronunciation, intonation and choice of vocabulary, as well as constructions helping to express an opinion on a given topic. I try to choose materials that discuss interesting, current, intriguing topics and that encourage debate. I use authentic materials, such as written texts or online videos, thanks to which my students have a chance to practice understanding the content they are exposed to every day. I also enrich the source materials with exercises aimed at developing the student’s language skills. I recommend the classes to students who are at least intermediate level. At lower levels we choose different types of materials and the dynamics of the classes differs from the one proposed here.

COURSE:

 

These classes will help you to organize the knowledge you have already acquired and to acquire new skills. We work with Aula Internacional textbooks adapted to the student’s current level and enriched with my original materials or materials from other sources. This mode of learning requires a lot of work from the student. In addition to active participation in class, students prepare written texts, oral statements and solve exercises during the week to achieve the best results. It is recommended to devote about 3 hours outside the lesson for contact with the language: preparing homework, listening to podcasts, watching videos or conversations in Spanish or analyzing recorded statements. It is worth noting that exercises and tests are not the only things you need to live by, so these classes are communicative in nature. I want you to feel every month that you are getting better at producing your own creative phrases rahter than just mechanically repeating someone else’s words.

WHAT ARE THE CLASSES LIKE?

Classes are held over the internet, through the Zoom app. We connect in an individual room where we can hear and see each other. To see each other is very important as it gives naturalness to our conversation, helps you to understand the message through body language and makes us somehow break the distance barrier between us. Access to the room is password protected, so no one will disturb us. Thanks to screen sharing, whiteboard, chat and other tools, we will effectively create notes together, which will help you systematize your knowledge.

 

Individual classes are enriched with group activities. As part of the purchased package, you have the opportunity to participate in one session per month, which all individual students from your level are invited to. This will allow you to meet other people who, like you, want to communicate in Spanish and are looking for opportunities to interact with others. In addition to the group meeting, I also propose an assignment to be completed in various applications and social networks, giving you the opportunity to interact in written or multimedia form in a context that is so familiar to you, the Internet.
