How 1on1 personalized Spanish lessons helped Scarlett from Central Valley conquer her fears and speak Fluently

Scarlett’s journey: from anxious learner to fluent speaker

Scarlett, passionate about learning languages, struggled with speaking Spanish confidently.

Despite understanding the basics, she found it challenging to describe photos and hold conversations. With her oral exam approaching, she turned to Wiingy’s 1-on-1 lessons for focused guidance.

After hearing success stories from friends, Scarlett realized Wiingy’s platform offered the perfect opportunity for her to connect with a tutor who could cater to her specific needs.

Through personalized coaching, Scarlett overcame her hesitation, gaining confidence in speaking and describing photos. By the end of her lessons, she was ready for her exam and beyond, feeling more fluent and confident in Spanish.

Why Scarlett started Spanish lessons

Scarlett’s goal was clear: her oral exam was fast approaching, and she had to describe a photo in Spanish. Though she had the basics down, the idea of speaking confidently about people, places, and relationships was daunting.

“I knew the vocabulary and grammar, but I just couldn’t express myself fluently,” she said.

Frustrated with apps and online resources, Scarlett realized she needed something more structured and interactive. While searching for a tutor, she found Wiingy’s platform, which offered tailored lessons to match her learning style and goals.

With her tutor Pegah Nemati’s support, Scarlett overcame her hesitation and spoke Spanish more smoothly. The structured lessons provided the practice she needed to excel in her exam and become more fluent overall.

Real class insight: what Scarlett worked on with Pegah Nemati

During her lessons with Pegah, Scarlett focused on building her confidence in describing photos and speaking about real-life situations. Some of the key activities and breakthroughs from their sessions included:

Describing people and relationships

Pegah introduced Scarlett to simple sentence structures like “En esta foto se puede ver…” (In this photo, we can see…), allowing her to describe people, relationships, and locations more naturally.

“I feel more comfortable now when talking about people in a photo. I used to get stuck on how to say things like ‘the mother’ or ‘the father’, but now I know how to use ‘esta’ and ‘este’ correctly.” – Scarlett

Using adjectives for physical appearance:

Pegah explained how to use adjectives properly when describing physical features like hair color, height, and clothing. Scarlett worked on using words like “castaña” for brown hair and “delgada” for thin, improving her ability to describe what she sees in photos.

“I didn’t know that ‘castaña’ was for hair color. Now I feel confident describing someone’s appearance in detail.”

Formulating opinions and comparisons:

They practiced expressing opinions using structures like “Creo que…” (I think that…) and comparisons such as “El hijo es mayor que la hija” (The son is older than the daughter), which helped Scarlett add more depth to her descriptions.

“Learning how to express opinions like ‘Creo que es una familia feliz’ (I think it’s a happy family) has made me feel like I can actually talk about what I see, not just describe it.” – Scarlett

Mastering verb conjugations:

A challenge Scarlett faced was getting the right conjugation for different verbs depending on the subject. Pegah helped her understand the subtle differences in verbs like “ser” and “estar” when talking about states of being versus more permanent characteristics.

“I used to mix up when to use ‘ser’ and ‘estar,’ but now I can explain the difference and use them correctly.”

The outcome: Scarlett’s transformation

Through her lessons with Pegah, Scarlett gained the skills to express herself clearly in Spanish, both for her oral assessment and beyond. Not only did she manage to prepare for her exam with more confidence, but she also started enjoying speaking Spanish.

By the end of the course, Scarlett felt more comfortable and confident in describing people, places, and expressing her opinions in Spanish.

“Before my lessons, I was nervous about speaking. Now I feel confident talking about everyday things and giving my opinion in Spanish. I can’t wait to continue practicing!” – Scarlett
