The contrast between memorizing and internalizing, and between learning and acquiring. We internalize/acquire our language.

It is fun being bilingual Spanish and English
When you are bilingual, you have the opportunity to think, dream, pray, reflect, sing, discuss, swear, in either language. I often find myself praying, pondering, and reflecting in Spanish, but expressing criticism, anger, and song in English. I go back and forth as the moment dictates, and I am receptive to either one or the other language at that instant.
It give me so much pleasure to listen to how native Spanish speakers use one of many speech forms, and how emotion, desire, and sweetness is expressed in the different forms. There is not one way to speak any language, since language is simply a roof, and ceiling, under which there are many speech manifestations of the bigger language. Usually these manifestations of speech are physically localized to a region. This make learning Spanish thrilling, but confusing and frustrating for some. However, English also has the same characteristics.
Let’s use the language we know, and have joy with learning other languages, and other speech forms withing the languages. I am fluent in Spanish, but still want to know and perfect speech forms in Spanish, just as I am always trying to improve my English. I feel proud to be a bilingual American, when so many in my country are lazy or uninterested in other languages or cultures. I am on a mission to promote the Spanish language, since it is the language I know, but I encourage other languages as well. Let’s have a multi-lingual world, in which we all learn metaphors, expressions, words, syntax from each other, and in our various languages.

Language gates open when you are bilingual
When you are bilingual, or multilingual, you have the opportunity to think, dream, pray, reflect, sing, discuss, swear, debate, inform, in more than one language. I often find myself praying, pondering, and reflecting in Spanish, but expressing criticism, anger, and song in English. I go back and forth as the moment dictates, and I am receptive to either one or the other language at that instant. Spanish gives me poetry pleasure, while English allows me to more easily discuss and analyse complex issues. I can go to Spanish and search for a metaphor, but to English for a scientific explanation.

However, English also has the same characteristics. Language is what we all have in common with one another, but our distinctive mark is left in speech. Each one uses the structures of language in an unique, localized way.

Spanish lessons in Tallahassee
I can take the fear out of learning Spanish. You can internalize so much Spanish in a short period of time and will be able to show off to your Spanish-speaking friends. You will not need any books since the lessons are based on how we learned our own language as children: First, we listen; Second, we respond to commands and phrases with our body; Third, we start to speak language, and can give others’ commands, and comments, and ask questions. During all of this, internalization is going on. This is what is going on during my Spanish lessons. You are not memorizing Spanish, but instead adopting it, internalizing it, making it your own.
Background:
B.A. in Spanish from the University of West Florida.
M.A. in Spanish Language and Linguistics from Florida State University.
Lived in and visited Spanish speaking countries.
Taught Spanish for over seven years, and have been tutoring Spanish since 1994.
My fees: $20 hour one on one, or $15 for two or more individuals.
For interest and availability, call or text Kenneth at cell ph. 850-210-7425, or email this post.
