What is your name?
*Usted* in brackets means that pronouncing the word is optional. It expresses the politeness, but it could be omitted as the verb conjugation also shows the polite form.
| Spanish | English |
|---|---|
| ¿Cómo se llama (usted)? (formal) | What is your name? |
| ¿Cómo te llamas? | What is your name? |
| Me llamo Pablo. | My names is Pablo. |
| Soy Pablo. | I'm Pablo. |
| ¡Encantado! (male) | Nice to meet you. |
| ¡Encantada! (female) | Nice to meet you. |
How old are you in Spanish
Whilst in English we use the verb to be for talking about age, in Spanish we utilize tener (the Spanish equivalent of to have).
| Spanish | English |
|---|---|
| ¿Cuántos años tiene (usted)? (formal) | How old are you? |
| ¿Cuántos años tienes, Pablo? | How old are you, Pablo? |
| Tengo 25 años. | I'm 25 years old. |

| ¿De dónde eres? | Where are you from? |
| Soy de Francia. | I'm from France. |
| Soy francés. (male) | I´m French. |
| Soy francesa. (female) | I´m French. |
Where do you live?
The Grammar construction Personal pronoun + verb in English is often changed in Spanish by just a verb without a personal pronoun construction. For example: I live in Paris = (yo) Vivo en Paris.
| Spanish | English |
|---|---|
| ¿Dónde vive (usted)? (formal) | Where do you live? |
| ¿Dónde vives, Pablo? | Where do you live, Pablo? |
| Vivo en París. | I live in Paris. |
Marital status in Spanish
As the Spanish adjectives vary in gender, we have the word casado (married) for masculine and casada for female gender .
| Spanish | English |
|---|---|
| ¿Está (usted) casado? (formal, male) | Are you married? |
| ¿Está (usted) casada? (formal, female) | Are you married? |
| ¿Estás casado? (informal, male) | Are you married? |
| ¿Estás casada? (informal, female) | Are you married? |
| Sí, estoy casado. (male) | Yes, I'm married. |
| Sí, estoy casada. (female) | Yes, I'm married. |
| No, estoy soltero. (male) | No, I'm single. |
| No, estoy soltera. (female) | No, I'm single. |
What do you do for work?
Look at the list of some professions below the table.
| Spanish | English |
|---|---|
| ¿A qué se dedica (usted)? | What do you do? |
| ¿Qué hace (usted)? (formal) | What do you do? |
| ¿A qué te dedicas? | What do you do? |
| ¿Qué haces? | What do you do? |
| Soy profesor. | I'm a teacher. |

| Spanish | English |
|---|---|

| ¿Cuál es su dirección? (formal) | What is you address? |

Dialogue conversation with English translation

Dani: ¡Hola!, ¿Cómo se llama? Hello! What is your name?
Pablo: ¡Hola!, Soy Pablo. Hello! I'm Pablo.
Dani: ¿Cuántos años tiene Usted? How old are you?
Pablo: Tengo 25 años. I'm 25.

I offer smart and fun lessons for all levels and ages! I am a native Turkish speaker from Cyprus and an English teacher by profession. Alongside full-time teaching, I work as a freelance translator/interpreter (Turkish-English) on a part-time basis. I have extensive teaching experience especially with university students, secondary school students and adults. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, I can help you (or your child) improve your language skills with customized lessons and authentic teaching material.
As a language teacher and a language learner myself, I am aware that everyone learns at their own pace and everyone learns in different ways. Therefore, addressing the needs of each student individually is crucial to my teaching approach. It is true that language learning takes time and commitment but online teaching has transformed the learning experience in such a way that, with the help of developing technology and the internet, you can accelerate your learning much faster than you can with traditional teaching methods. Some of the key elements in accelerated learning that I adapt in my teaching methodology are as follows:
Flipped Classroom:
In contrast to conventional teaching methods, students are provided with class material prior to the lesson. This allows them to practice what they have learnt during classroom discussions and activities.
Task-based Approach:
Traditional teaching approaches focused on the content that teachers thought their students needed to learn. This included a lot of emphasis on grammar. Task-based approach, on the other hand, focuses on the skills that the students want to acquire. The teacher no longer focuses on ‘what’ is taught but ‘why’ it is taught.
Lexical Syllabus:
In line with the task-based approach, lexical syllabus focuses on the vocabulary that the student needs to learn in order to perform a specific task. For example, the word ‘asset’ is essential for a business student, similarly, ‘biopsy’ is an essential word for a medical student.
My approach allows me to connect with students' previous learning experiences and knowledge and increase their reflection between what they learn and their life experiences. Overall, it is a student-centered, interactive, collaborative and communicative approach.

Ciao! My name is Mauro, I am native Italian from Calabria! I am a very passionate teacher, I love to share my language and my knowledge about Italy, and its culture, films, music, literature, arts, food!!! I firmly believe that learning is based on trust between teacher and student, and the first objective of my classes is to individuate student's objectives and preferences. My teaching methodology is integrated: I think that it is important to work on all of linguistic abilities: oral and writing comprehension and production. I also think that lessons must be as much as fun as possible, and I use a lot of authentic material: songs, films, cooking recipes, newspapers, advertising and so on...
S. G.
Mauro is a nice and skilled teacher who's been doing this job since 2013. He has experience teaching both to individual students and to groups, both online and in-person, both to beginners and intermediates. His classes are highly personalized and his learning materials are really good, doing also a great use of online tools to improve the quality of teaching.

Hello everyone!
My name is Lucia and I have been teaching English for 13 years now.
I am a CELTA and CELTYL qualified senior language trainer, a mentor and a qualified teacher trainer as well.
I absolutely love teaching English in a fun, engaging manner that is appealing to all my students. I like discussing all lessons with students so that each course can meet their needs at every moment.
Lessons should be relaxing, motivating and enjoyable and I always like to hear my students say at the end of the lesson:
"Hey! Teacher! When did this lesson finish? It feels like we've just started!"
So, if you would like to learn English, prepare for your Cambridge exam, or just improve your communications skills I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU ALL.
See you all during the lessons!
C. B.
Lucia is an English teacher since 13 years. Lucia prepares students and nurses to English certifications as Cambridge certificate. Indeed she adaptes her lessons according what you like and what you want to learn. Lucia creates and personalizes each of her English courses with different learning materials as books or powerpoint presentation, even pictures are made by herself ! She is very involved in her students progress and also very communicative with them providing a great atmosphere during her courses. I recommend her !

I am a native English language teacher from Ireland. I have the highly acclaimed accreditation of CELTA. I have been living and teaching in Spain for the past 2 years. I specialise in medical English and in exam preparation. I have trained others to become teachers through the TEFL scheme. My students have been very successful in their exams and I have a brilliant track record. I teach all levels and employ different methods, depending on my student's level of comprehension and their objectives. So for example, if I had a juvenile A1 student, I would play games, use flash cards, keep the class dynamic and I would change activity regularly. This helps to hold their attention and keeps them engaged. Their following lesson then touches on revision and progression. If I had a C1 student, I would help them to work on their exam preparation skills and especially their grammar and speaking skills, I would also teach them specific terminology for their area of study/career.
I adore teaching, I am an excellent teacher and I can definitely help to make English easy for you. I am friendly, engaging and I can mimic different accents! :) I can teach British or American English.
I hope to welcome you to my class soon.

Isabel R.
Hi, I'm Franci. I'm an all-around but one of my favourite things is to teach and spread my passion for languages and cultures. I studied translation and intercultural communication, collecting moves around 5 countries.
I have many experiences as private teacher of Italian, English and German for kids, teenagers and adults. My biggest satisfaction so far has been to see a girl hating the German language at the beginning, ending up pursuing a university path in German!
What is important for me as a teacher: I want to understand your motivation and need for learning or getting better in a language. My methods will be tailored to your needs, interest, and learning skills.
S. G.
Francesca is an experienced teacher and a really nice person. She cares about her students and the reasons behind their decision to start learning a language or to wanting to improve it. Moreover, she really structures her classes on her students' needs and interests.
