Who is Behind ConvoSpanish?

INÉS CUESTA UREÑA – Founder and Spanish teacher

My Story

I am a native Spanish speaker from Barcelona, which is second largest city of Spain.

My goal is to help you practice Spanish online, above all your conversational skills.

In addition, I have lived in different countries and traveled around the world. This experience made me find out how fascinating teaching my native language and sharing my culture is. It gives me the opportunity to travel without going far. I travel through the stories I hear from my students.

Finally, I like helping people. I feel that through teaching Spanish I can help improve a skill that nowadays is essential; languages.

Education

I went to the University of Barcelona in Spain, and earned my Bachelor’s in Biology. During my Bachelor I did an internship (Erasmus programme) in Bergen, Norway. During this time I gained more experience.

I also hold a Master’s Degree in Biochemistry through the University of Montana from Missoula, USA.

Work Experience

I have worked in my field, but also in a lot of other sectors. Because of my diverse work experience, I easily adapt to different types of jobs.

However, during the last five years, I have focused on helping students of Spanish as a second language. I help them practice and improve their Spanish conversation skills.

Languages

Spanish is my mother language and Catalan is my second language, since I grew up in Catalonia. Catalonia is an autonomous community of Spain, which the co-official language is Catalan.

Therefore, English is my third language, which I studied in school for around six years. However, after all those years, I was only able to speak very basic English. It wasn’t until after high school that I really learned how to speak in English. I learned by practicing the language online by myself and through non-conventional “classes”, and by immersing myself in it. Then, after living abroad for a while, I have become much more fluent.
