1. You’ll become a listener and speaker rather than just a visual learner which means being able to enhance oral communication.
2. Your ability to speak will inevitably get faster once you get here.
3. Feel more attached to your hosting culture (future home culture?)
4. Accomplish more than your lazy peers.
5. Engineer more connections with those who chose Ecuador for the same reasons than you.
6. More Ecuadorian places to which you can feel motivated to go or invited to attend since you won’t be afraid – rather motivated, to practice your Spanish.
7. Regularly demonstrate your knowledge and ability while buying in markets or feel encouraged to say, “en español por favor”.
8. It’s therapeutic (fear to not understand what is said in your hosting/ home culture is unhealthy).
9. Might inspire others.
10. It’s fun if you learn with a funny and prepared teacher.
11. Can create more self-confidence.
12. Can elevate your thinking and understanding of Cuencano culture.
13. Get your oral skills more attention.
14. Lets you demonstrate leadership.
15. Can create other opportunities you never considered like helping with the English language in small rural communities.
16. Creates “friendly familiarity” with Ecuadorians who don’t speak any English, making the choice to interact with you rather than with those who don’t speak any Spanish.
I could go on and on and on…
I’ve given you 16 reasons instead of 7
What is the reason that will make you pull your finger out? If you are one of those who waits until the last minute to learn or wait to land in Ecuador to get started, it works too.
The sooner the better.
Anyway,
Want to improve your pronunciation and listening skills?
I am still here to help you.
