What to Look for in a Spanish-
Speaking Partner
There are many different ways to learn Spanish. One of the most popular and fun ways to
learn Spanish is to use a friend who speaks both Spanish and English. A Spanish speaking
friend can really help you to rapidly progress through the
challenges you may face.
There are many important qualities that need be looked for when
seeking out a partner to help you learn Spanish. These are
patience, skill, and availability. Without these qualities, your
partner may not be the best. There are many reasons why these
qualities are important.
Patience is important because a patient Spanish-speaking partner
will help you learn Spanish peacefully so to speak. A patient
partner will not mind if you stumble over your words as you learn
Spanish. If you take a little more time than normal to get the language down, a patient
partner will let you have all of the time that you need to learn Spanish. They will not
pressure you or make you feel bad when you are facing some difficulties.
Another quality, skill is essential for your partner to have because without it, you may feel
that you are not properly learning the language. Your Spanish speaking partner should be
skilled in writing the language, speaking it formally, and speaking the language
conversationally. As an added bonus, you may want to consider getting a partner who has
teaching skills. Such a person may be more likely to have the qualities patience and skill,
and such a person may already be practiced in using these skills with other people. You
may also want to consider getting a partner who is practiced in counseling or maybe has
some kind of experience in caring for other people. Such a person may make the experience
of learning Spanish fun as well as nurturing.
Lastly, a key attribute of the partner you find that will help you learn Spanish is availability.
Availability starts with you. First you have to make yourself available to learn Spanish
well. Making yourself available might require you to take time off from work or school.
You may have to take a break from some of your hobbies to learn Spanish. Finally, when
your schedule makes you available to learn Spanish well, you must choose a partner is who
is either just as available as or more available than you are. They must be willing to make
some of the same sacrifices you are making in order to help you learn Spanish. If you find
someone who is open to making changes in their schedule for your benefit, you may have
found yourself a good Spanish-speaking partner.
However, before you decide to commit yourself to a relationship with a person who should
help you learn Spanish; remember that you must look at the bigger picture. Neither of these
qualities is more important than the other. Only all three of them will create the ideal
