Improving My Spanish with María | Conversations & Cultural Insights

Language Journey started September 2019 this video/class is on 2/2/25


In this Spanish lesson, I have another great conversation with my teacher, María, from Bogotá, Colombia. We discuss various topics, including the challenges of moving to the countryside, the incredible survival story of lost children in the jungle, and the powerful effects of ayahuasca. We also explore Colombia’s vibrant Carnaval de Negros y Blancos and its cultural significance.

María corrects my Spanish throughout the lesson, helping me express myself more naturally. If you're learning Spanish, I hope this video motivates you to keep going!
