Hey Reader 👋🏾 This past week, we uploaded many of the 12-Logro Method materials in the BTG Spanish Community. You'll also notice that your conversation teachers are talking more about the Community and may even give you homework to do there as well. So, to help you get the most out of your learning experience, I'd love to walk through the BTG Spanish Community with you 1-on-1. Schedule Here And, as always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Just reply directly to this email.

Let's talk about the thing almost no Spanish program addresses directly.

The fear.

The moment a Spanish conversation is possible — the coworker who speaks it, the person who needs help in line, the chance to order in Spanish instead of pointing — and something in you quietly looks for the exit. Not because you can't. But because it feels safer not to try.

​

We're up to Logro 9 in our walk through the new BTG Spanish 12-Logro Method — and making it past this fear is at its core. Imagine this for a change...

You stop avoiding Spanish conversations and start seeking them out.

That shift sounds simple. But if you've been studying Spanish for any extended period of time, you know that it isn't.

So, here are two other things I want you to know about that fear.

First: you're completely normal. Nearly every learner feels it. The fear of speaking is the single most common thing that keeps people stuck — more than vocabulary, more than grammar.

Second: it's beatable. And beating it is exactly what makes the Logro 9 habit — seeking out conversations instead of avoiding them — possible.

So this week, I'm doing something different with the preview.

Instead of walking through grammar for this logro, I recorded a short video where I coach you through the fear itself — the way I would with a learner one-on-one.

By the end of the video, you'll know how to take steps to move from avoiding Spanish conversations to seeking them out.

And, the cool thing is that this coaching session can stand on its own. You don't need to have made it to Logro 9 in our BTG curriculum to get something out of it — wherever you are in your journey, this is for you.

​

Sit with me for a couple of minutes. Answer the question I ask you honestly. I think you'll leave ready to seek more and avoid less.

P.S. The fear fades fastest when you have a clear path and people in your corner. That's exactly what the BTG Spanish Community gives you — structure, support, and a place to practice without judgment. All the grammar material and weekly practice opportunities are included. The revised version drops at the end of August. Get in before the upgrade.
