Spanish Lesson with Majo (Cúcuta, Colombia)– Real Conversations & Honest Progress

Language Journey started September 2019 this video/class is on 3/22/25

¡Hola! I’m Charlie — a dedicated Spanish learner documenting my journey one conversation at a time. After 5+ years of learning, I’m still improving every day with the help of amazing tutors from across Latin America. Here, you’ll find real, unscripted Spanish lessons, honest struggles, natural conversations, and useful insights into grammar, vocabulary, and culture.

Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate learner, or just love hearing authentic Spanish in action, this channel is for you. I share my wins, my mistakes, and everything in between to help you gain more comprehensible input, build confidence, and see how Spanish is really spoken.

🎯 Goals:

Improve my fluency & share useful lessons

Create accessible content for fellow learners

Inspire others to keep going — even when it gets tough

💬 Join me as I learn with tutors from Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico & more.
🧠 Real lessons. Real progress. Real Spanish.

Re-watching these lessons have helped me tremendously as a dyslexic.
