What a great conversation with Maria Seco! She grew up on the Camino Portugues long before there were many pilgrims on the route. It was only by moving abroad that she learned of the growing popularity of the Camino. She now teaches Spanish to pilgrims who want to deepen their Camino experience.
We:
answer the question, “Should I learn Spanish before embarking on my Camino?”
ask why we may have learned Spanish in high school for years and be unable to speak it, yet can spend just a week (or ideally more) with her and learn a whole lot more
discuss how Maria ended up doing this very specific work.
share our stories of how knowing a little Spanish has helped pilgrims we know.
laugh over some of the cultural misconceptions people have about Spain.
learn tips for how to overcome your anxiety around speaking Spanish.
hear about the resources Maria offers (both free and paid) to help you improve your Spanish.
