Comprehensible Input, Guaraní & Crosstalk | Chatting with Rodri from Paraguay

In this episode, I sit down with Rodrigo, a fellow Spanish teacher from Encarnación, Paraguay. We dive deep into the world of Comprehensible Input and Crosstalk—not just as teaching methods, but as the most natural way to acquire any language. Rodrigo shares his personal experience learning French and German using CI, the fascinating bilingual reality of Spanish and Guaraní in Paraguay, and why understanding a language is far more important than forcing yourself to speak it perfectly from day one. Whether you are currently in your silent period or looking to adapt your daily routine, Rodrigo drops excellent advice for the CI community. 🤝 Connect & Support: Book a class with Rodrigo: https://www.italki.com/en/teacher/639...
