I was a Spanish teacher for 15 years and I usually cringe at the terrible Spanish that the Americans attempt to speak on the show. Don’t get me wrong: they are still understandable, but the sig other is listening to some of the worst grammar… (imagine a 4 year old speaking English)

Clayton, however, has this one impressed. He has made few grammatical errors and has really good oral proficiency and clear oral comprehension. He is great at spontaneous conversation.

I need to know what language learning app he used! I want to work on my French and German.

    I taught high school Spanish, and imo Ashley has the skills of someone who has taken 4 years of Spanish. In a spontaneous conversation, she can get her point across but as others have stated on this thread, she doesn’t always use the right tense all the time. She avoids most complex verb phrasing. It is normal for someone who someone who didn’t take Spanish courses in college and for most people who use an app to learn the language. Apps don’t cover everything, of course. All of that considered, I do admire her fluency and confidence for sure.
