Mike Benjamin (www.youtube.com/@MikeBen) has dedicated the most recent years of his life to learning and teaching language. As an English speaker, he has learned so much Spanish (you can watch his progress on his YouTube channel) since 2020 that he now leads a group of Conversational Spanish students as their language coach. As a lover of both Hispanic cultures and also learning language, he chose to change his profession from Math teacher over to English (as a Foreign Language) teacher. Mike is an inspiration to others.

In this interview, Mike discusses his journey from knowing little Spanish in early 2020 to having regular conversations and friendships with Latinos in several countries. Finalmente, detalla las tendencias que ha observado en su propio salón en cuanto a ciertos errores comunes en inglés que cometen sus estudiantes.
