Spanish and Go
About this episode

What does it really mean to have an accent when speaking Spanish—and should you even try to change it? In this episode, I explore how accents impact communication, connection, and confidence, sharing tips on how to develop a more natural-sounding Spanish accent without striving for perfection. Whether you’re aiming to blend in or simply be better understood, this conversation will help you approach pronunciation with intention and clarity.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why adopting an accent isn’t about being fake—it’s about belonging and being understood.
  • How techniques like speech shadowing and tongue twisters can improve your pronunciation.
  • Why focusing on Spanish vowels and intentional listening makes a big difference.
