In 5 mins she made me fall in love with her personality....

[zonasky]

I LOVE that you get right to it!! Irritates me when someone makes introductions too long. Thank you! And I don't mind you are speaking fast since I can obviously control the speed or pause, or just go back etc. ;)

I love watching Rosa, i love her accent the way she pronounces her words she's got a great smile and she's funny, got a great sense of humour. I've been trying to learn Spanish for many years I know probably hundreds of words but always had trouble linking the words together I can read things in Spanish, pick out words and I have an idea what's going on, same when I watch and hear Rosa speak and hear other Spanish speakers in conversation, I can't understand everything, pick out words . My father and I always wanted to live in Andalucía but unfortunately cancer finally got him 03 January 2024 aged 95. So I'm watching Rosa again before coming back to Spain for a while next month to revisit old memories of my father Harry and mine, this visit to Spain was going to be a one way trip for the two of us, but unfortunately Brexit, covid, and finally bad health put an end to our dream move.

[CineMutt]

Please do not slow down. It is important to learn to catch the words at a good speed! You can also play the vid over and over, stop it if you need to, repeat the whole sentences and start to get the rhythm of Spanish. Push past the mistakes and repeat until you can do it. Spanish, unlike English, flows beautifully. Swim in it! You can slow it down using the speed control, but don’t stay slow for long...This teacher speaks beautifully and you have a great resource here IMHO.

[nymphnevaeh]

I really like the way that rosa talks! it helps me so much so that I can pronounce the words properly.Keep up with these awesome videos if you can!

[janderson]

She makes us be in love with spanish! Pretty interesting the way she talks. Could listen all day...

[prateekgautam]

Gracias Rosa! I recently travelled to my first spanish speaking region 'Puerto Rico' and found your teaching very valuable.

[jaxxx]

It surprised me how much my latin, english and german are helping me to learn vocab! I never realized how similar those languages truly are
