Rob and Pilar discuss what they see most effective Spanish learners have in common. What are the qualities they all cultivate, and does "immersion" have an impact on language learning? Also, they delve into the interesting Spanish slang phrase "dizque", used by Karol G...!

Rob continues his conversations with Pilar. They discuss why so many people are looking to leave Colombia, and what some of the assumptions there are within Colombia about what it's like living abroad. Rob also asks about gender - so simple to understand, yet difficult to get right!

Pilar has experience living and working in Mexico. Rob chats with her about life in Mexico, and how it compares to Colombia. They also touch on Spanglish, weird Mexican phrases, Netflix, and talk about how to understand the past tenses in Spanish.

We're introducing a new "mini-series" - Preguntas con Pilar. Rob chats with Pilar, who is one of the teachers in the Spanish Obsessed Academy. She has incredible experience teaching Spanish, and in her conversations with Rob they focus more on the language aspect of Spanish. In this episode, they talk a little about Pilar's experience, and Rob asks about a weird verb pattern he's heard in Colombia.

Rob talks with Lis’ sister, Judith. Judith recently completed her Masters in La Gestión Urbana (Urban Management), and discusses the current global migration to cities, amongst other topics.
