I'm an Animation graduate and translator who loves film 🎥🎵
My passion is to discover the world through words and images. I *love* dogs and cats, music, and anything that has to do with good stories! Maybe that is why I love languages so much?
지도 경험
I am patient, flexible, and creative. I love to teach through conversation and sentence patterns. I'm always open to suggestions, and I'm constantly motivated by students who ask lots of questions! I always try to understand what my students are trying to say before correcting them- sometimes you just need a nudge in the right direction to understand things by yourself :)
내 강의 및 지도 스타일
I mostly teach through conversation, though I usually give grammar pointers when I think it's the right moment to study the topic. I usually ask students what they think they need to study, and we start by discussing that. If I notice there's another (more basic) skill or information that they're missing, and that is keeping them from improving, I'll address that topic too.
I adjust to whatever the student needs, as I believe that being aware of the different learning styles is key to achieve goals most efficiently.
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about Spanish! Every question is worth asking ;)
Had a fantastic lesson. Mariana is so great at giving examples and making complicated ideas make sense. I have such a better grasp now on por and para and when to use estaba or estuvo. Excited for our next lesson.

Mucho gusto ! Mariana. 私のスペイン語は入門レベルなので0からのスタートです。日本語で優しく、忍耐強く教えてくれるので、私のような日本人の学習者でも、安心してネイティブからレッスンを受けられます。これからマリアナさんとスペイン語を勉強していこうと思います。

Mariana is friendly and enthusiastic about improving a student’s fluency. She is excellent at keeping a conversation flowing when a student is stuck or trying to move on to another subject. She will type out key phrases that a student has trouble with and she gives out a lot of great recommendations to improve. I highly recommend Mariana for first-time or returning italki users because I felt comfortable asking her to repeat herself and asking her lots of questions. I am looking forward to my next lesson with her.

I enjoy how free-wheeling these lessons are. I am learning about the culture and language in a natural, not classroom, way.
