My story
If I Sound Native, Anyone Can
I'm about as British as it gets. I grew up in Kent, not Cádiz. I sat the same school language lessons you did - and left them unable to order a coffee.
Everything changed when I started learning Spanish as an adult - the age everyone tells you is "too late." It wasn't. Within a few years I wasn't just fluent; native speakers were asking which part of Spain I was from.
I've now spent 15 years teaching Spanish, and I've made it my job to strip out everything that doesn't work and hand you only what does. That's what I share every week with 50,000+ learners on TikTok - and in more depth with my email community.
- Started Spanish as an adult - zero childhood exposure
- Regularly mistaken for a native speaker
- 15 years teaching real learners to speak
- Invited speaker on language learning & travel
