EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS
& IMPROVE YOUR SPEAKING
THROUGH PREPARATION
Welcome back to the Inner Circle, listeners.
Last time, you learned all about failure, and how
and why language learners fail before they even
get started. You learned about the one mistake
they make when they’re trying to bounce back.
And about how you can e ectively bounce back
despite failing.
With lack of progress, it’s easy to lose confidence
and lower your expectations, right? I know I had
low expectations of learning Spanish at this point.
January’s progress was non-existent. I had failed
my February goal.
I wasn’t expecting much for this month either.
However, I did secure a Spanish Skype tutor to
help me reach my 1-minute goal of Spanish
conversation. The results?
I blew my expectations out of the water and hit
3 minutes. This is not a miracle success story. It’s
a small win.
And it was all done with preparation.
That’s right, preparation allowed me to speak
more Spanish and exceed my original goal.
So, in this inner circle, you’re going to learn...
With lack of progress,
it’s easy to lose
confidence and lower
your expectations.
Why you should prepare for conversations
ahead of time
How preparation got me speaking
more Spanish
How you can prepare for conversations
in your target language
EYE OFER,
THE TIG !
BABY
To be honest, even March
was looking bleak at first.
The Spanish Skype tutor I wanted to reserve – she was the highest
rated one – was booked for the first two weeks. I’d need to wait.
That’s two weeks of lost progress.
And I didn’t want to waste time. If I can’t learn Spanish one way,
I’ll learn it another way in the mean time. Any progress is good progress.
So I turned to SpanishPod101 lessons to prepare for the upcoming
Skype lessons. More specifically, the Top 25 Questions You Need to
Know series.
Why this series exactly?
Put simply, because you learn
the top questions and answers used in most conversations.
Top 25 Spanish Questions
You Need to Know
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU MEET SOMEBODY NEW.
QUESTIONS LIKE:
NAME
What’s your
name?
Where are you
from?
Age
How old
are you?
Can you speak
(target language)?
And so on. I knew these would be
perfect preparation for starting my
Skype lessons. Just as with any new
person, we’d run through these
questions. I spent the first two weeks,
about 30 minutes a day on 2 lessons,
and mastered these questions.
I listened to the lessons. I repeated
out loud. I reviewed the line-by-line.
I wrote down my own answers.
And for review, (there’s no mastery
without repetition and review) I
re-listened to the lessons again and
again while I was commuting.
Sounds good, right?
But how did this
help me speak better Spanish if I haven’t
had the chance yet to speak yet?
Let’s get into the first point and into my
actual Skype lessons.
