I am a native of Russia and I have been working with the Spanish-language for 15 years. I live in Girona, Spain and I teach Russian to students from different classes. They are dynamic and I focus more than anything on speaking with the students, so that they have practical language, since any language is a tool and you have to know how to use it. I give classes in an easier and more entertaining way, listening to songs and learning the most popular phrases. Once contact has been established with the student and they have learned the most used phrases and words, they can start with the Spanish alphabet. The key is to be constant and always go after what you want. I have experience teaching both Spanish and Russian and I rely on the communicative approach. More than a methodology, it is a way of seeing learning for me. Part of the idea that language is basically used for communication between people and the objective is, therefore, to improve all the aspects included in this communication. All skills are given importance and grammar also has a place in our teaching process. It is a method that places special emphasis on interaction and the use of language in real situations. I also apply the direct or natural method. Where learning is done through direct oral communication. We speak, we listen, we make mistakes, we repeat, we do not learn grammar but we intuit it or deduce it, and in the end we end up speaking the language correctly.
