I'm no polyglot but have studied Spanish, French and Italian and I find Spanish pronunciation, rhythm and tone far more difficult than the other two, as an Anglophone. Whilst my comprehension of basic Spanish is good, my struggle with the phonetics deters me from speaking. I will have to listen and practise much more to become comfortable producing decent Spanish sounds.
Great observation. I have heard a similar comment from another student today as well. I would love to help you more with it. If you want to have a 30min free talk feel free to book an appointment here: calendly.com/celsogil
Thanks a lot Celso. I like the way you teach Spanish. I can clearly understand the way you speak both in English and Español 😊
Happy to hear that! Many thanks for your comment :)
OMG tienes mucho talento
Me alegro de que te ayuden los vídeos 🫶🏼🫶🏼
Fantastico. Gracias!
Gracias a ti ☺️
Hey Gelso, I really enjoyed the lesson. I believe I will learn to speak Spanish well if stick with watching your videos.
I want ask a question "how do I think in Spanish, when does that happen"?
I don't know who I can share your videos with right now, but I plan to keep watching them.
Blessings and Shalom (I don't know how to that yet. I'm sure if I stick with your lessons I'll learn how), from Kingsville, Ohio ❤ 😊

Hola Cynthia, many thanks for your sweet message. It really means a lot for me to know that you are finding these videos helpful.
Regarding your question, I don't think there is a specific time when you start thinking in another foreign language. It's more about the amount of time that you are exposed to that language, as well as the time that you dedicate to reflect on that language as well.
Also, thinking in a foreign language doesn't have to come naturally, it's a habit that you can start doing little by little.
Un abrazo fuerte 🫶🏼
My siento muy afortunada que aprendo español como una hablante de polaco y no inglés 😅 no tengo muchas problemas con la pronuncación. Incluso tenemos el sonido "ñ" en polaco pero lo escribimos así: ń 😅 el único sonido que me resulta dificil es "j" y "g" en ge, gi, je, ji. Me parece que este sonido viene de garganta. Me encanta, me parece bonito pero tengo problemas con imitarlo 😅
No sé si lo sabes pero en inglés britanico "tomato" se pronuncia diferentemente (más parecido al español). Tu pronuncación es mas parecida al estadounidense 🙂
By the way, I like your accent in English :) it's very slight but it shows, especially in the words like "position", where there should be a voiced "s", which sounds like "z" or in the "sh" in the word "English", which you pronunce like "s" 🙂 But anyway, your pronunciation and rhythym in English is really good 👍 all the words are clear and easy to understand. Thank you for your good work! 👍
Hola Sylwia! No sabía que en polaco existía el sonido "ñ", cada vez aprendo más cosas en polaco gracias a ti!
Sí, soy consciente de que la pronunciation de "tomato" es diferente en inglés británico y americano, usé el ejemplo donde estaba más clara la diferencia entre español e inglés.
And thanks for this quick feedback! This is also becoming a great way for me to keep improving my English 🫶🏼
@@c.learningclub qué bien! Eres muy amable 🙂
Muchas gracias
Muchas gracias a ti 😊
Thanks a lot for the great content and also the other videos! Just wondering, how would you describe your Spanish accent? Is it from a certain region? I would like to become work efficient (B2) for Madrid, and especially to sound professional to clients. Not sure if there are notable differences in accents (I.e. in Andalusia) for cities in Spain, and whether those would come across as ‘uncommon/unprof’ when working in a different city. Would love to know.
Hola hola!
Many thanks for your comment and feedback :)
My accent is a big mix, although I'm originally from Andalusia.
In your particular case, I would recommend to learn the "standard" Spanish pronunciation for a work environment.
I do think, however, that all accents can be used in a professional way. I have seen great professionals with regional accents and I think that having this diversity is what makes a language even more special.
Obviously, when learning Spanish as a foreign language the case is different.
If you want to have more advice about your particular case I'm happy to have a free 30min call with you and help you out.

Un saludo!
@@c.learningclub thank you so much for your clear answer. Great to see that accents do not matter to a great extent. Here in the Netherlands, it is a bit different, hence my question. For now I’ll keep watching your videos, and closer to my work transition I’ll definitely reach out (probably for tailoring with courses).
Gracias ❤🎉
Gracias a ti Margarita 🫶🏼
The first ‘o’ in tomato is a schwa in English.
The Spanish pronunciation is actually closer to German than to English. Not quite like in German, but it sounds familiar (to me as a German). But I'm a bit insecure regarding the "B" sound, as it seems to be different regarding were it appears in a word in Spanish (or maybe it's a regional thing).
Hola! I agree that there are some similarities and it'd great that you are making those connections! I've never really noticed the "B" sound as an issue itself, rather more as an issue when differentiating "B" and "V". But in any case, I'm happy to hear more about it and maybe we can find something else 🧐🫶🏼
@@c.learningclub at school they've always taught me that Spanish "v" and "b" sound pretty much the same and they are pronounced as something between "v" and "b" 😅😅😁
There are different accents in Spanish, but in the majority of them, the "b" and the "v" are pronounced exactly the same way
@@sylwiawajda9866 I see, that's what was confusing me. The "b" at 3:38 sounded too much like a smooth German "b", not so much like the Spanish "v" I've heard in other videos.
@@c.learningclub Interestingly enough, for me as a German this b/v pronunciation is the hardest one to interpret when hearing Spanish (maybe not so much for English native speakers, I don't know). Not that I'm actively learning Spanish, but it pops up now and then on the radio (we have a regional programme called "Zwischen Hamburg und Haiti", in which journalists who travel to and through other countries, like in South and Middle America, do some features - and often enough those are Spanish speaking countries ;-)). I like to have a better "feeling" of the language. Maybe, along the way, I do grasp some of it (and I have this idea of one day traveling to Barcelona and taking a few large format pictures of the Sagrada Família, which to me is the most fascinating building I've seen pictures of …).
Toe-may-toe, toe-mar-toe… 🎶😁🙁
Celso, pleeease, tomayto is American, tomarto is the sound in real English
Hola! This was just an example to show the different sounds. I don't think there is a "real" English, nor a "real" Spanish either. There are many ways to pronounce words in different languages and I have used that to compare better. All accents should be equally respected 🫶🏼
@@c.learningclubAs an American, I thank you for this response. 👍
Oh brother, “real” English! How ridiculous.
@@Eddster25you are very welcome
