But do we really know where to study English with native teachers in Cartagena?
Native teachers in Cartagena
While we're certainly not saying that qualified teachers are invalid, the truth is that in Spain there's a certain preference for native teachers over qualified teachers when learning a language.
This leads to a number of advantages such as:
- Learning both academic and colloquial English, which will help you understand both a rally and a conversation on the street.
- That the vocabulary and expressions are richer, since, logically, a native speaker will, as a general rule, always have a much richer vocabulary than a non-native speaker.
- That the pronunciation is better and more natural than that of a non-native teacher. Native teachers are your best option if you are looking to improve your listening and you speaking.
- The language is more up-to-date, since native teachers are in constant contact with their language. This means they will speak perfect English and speak it in a timely manner.
- They can also teach you about their country's culture, which will further enrich your knowledge of the language.
But, leaving aside the many benefits of studying with native teachers, we're going to tell you where you can find native speakers in our city to learn from:
- Of course, in Native English. If there's one thing that characterizes us and we like about our methodology, it's that we have a teaching 100% native. If you want to improve your pronunciation and find the best way to learn this language, Native English is your best option.
- In some tandems: language exchanges in which half the conversation is in one participant's native language, and the other half in the other participant's native language. This is very useful because, in addition to learning the language, you meet people with whom you can communicate and continue practicing.
- Visiting establishments whose owners and customers are English speakers: this way, we'll learn to order something in their language and also be able to speak it. At the same time, we'll learn about their cuisine and culture, which are always enriching experiences.
Native vs. qualified teachers?
This is the eternal war; the eternal conflict between "yes" and "no." Are native teachers better? Or are qualified ones?
Here, there really isn't one thing more valid than the other; they're just different; qualified teachers and native teachers can teach you and offer completely different perspectives on English.
Qualified teachers offer quick and effective solutions to common problems they've likely encountered themselves. Having prior experience as English learners means they know tips and strategies for better learning the subject, which can be very helpful for students.
For its part, we have already commented on the many advantages of studying with native teachers: improvements in speaking and listening, native pronunciation, or the linguistic and cultural contributions they make to you.
