Language Coach: How to Overcome Perfectionism Learning Spanish

In this episode, I speak with language coach David Cabezas, who brings a powerful topic that’s especially relevant for students, language learners, and professionals moving to new countries.

We dive deep into the issue of perfectionism in language learning, and how striving for perfection can actually hold you back. David shares insights from his experience coaching students, where the pressure to speak perfectly often hinders real progress.

We discuss the importance of making mistakes, focusing on communication over perfection, and setting realistic goals.
