Live in Spanish
Yes, we mean that all the content you see, hear or read is in Spanish. Listen to Spanish music and aviation-themed podcasts; even switch your phone and social networks to Spanish.
In films, you can turn on subtitles at the beginning and, little by little, do without them. Plus, if you watch aviation films, you’ll be reinforcing industry-specific vocabulary, which is doubly good.
Speak without fear
Practice makes perfect! You can find people who, like you, want to practise their Spanish through apps like Tandem or HelloTalk. Join online conversation groups or even narrate your day-to-day life in Spanish when you do stories on Instagram, for example.
Read as much as you can
Look for aviation books and articles in Spanish for practice. Also, if you can read aloud, all the better. This will help you improve your pronunciation, vocabulary and, of course, your listening skills.
We suggest our Blog de Aviación, which is the Spanish version of our English blog. There you will find a multitude of articles in Spanish on specific aeronautical topics, with a great advantage! And that is that all the posts have their corresponding English version, so you already have the translations done.
Think in Spanish
Yes, we know it’s hard at first… But it’s worth the effort! Try to think in Spanish throughout the day: describe what you see, plan your schedule or try to have conversations with yourself in Spanish.
This will help you get by because, by recreating everyday situations for you in Spanish, it is easier for you to get out of any situation in a Spanish-speaking environment.
