Tragedy & Triumph: The Story of a Spanish Dude

I made my first Spanish video three and a half years ago. It didn’t go well the first year. I made negative dollars. I switched gears in the second year, January of 2014. That’s when I started Gringo Español. In the beginning, I was just uploading free videos. And nobody was watching. But by the time the 6-month mark hit, I knew I had “something”. The crowd was starting to gather. In September of 2014, I released my second premium course. That’s when things really started to roll. Then finally, over the last eight months, with four premium courses, Gringo Español became a real business that provided me a nice income. But a few weeks ago, on May 3rd, Facebook deleted the Gringo Español Facebook page without explanation. And with it, they took half my business. This is my story. I assure you, I don’t do sad endings. P.S. Make sure to LIKE my new FB page if you don’t want to miss my videos: http://facebook.com/spanishdude

If you’ve always wanted to learn Spanish, but didn’t think it was possible because you were terrible at Spanish in high school, or you don’t get sucked into Rosetta Stone-style hype–you’ve come to the right place. I’m a normal person, not some big company and not some native Spanish speaker. I’m not a natural language learner at all actually. My first brush with Spanish ended with me getting an F in high school! But somewhere along the way, I fell in love! I’m not sure if I love Spanish because I love traveling, or I love traveling because I love Spanish (and food). But I love them both. Naturally, I want more people to love what I love, but I know that you probably don’t see Spanish like I do… not yet! That’s the point of this podcast. I want to show you that there is ANOTHER WAY! That most of the strategies and tactics they used to teach us Spanish in high school are IGNORANT. They are ignorant to our plight. I know your mistakes. I understand why you make them. They were my mistakes too! I remember the pain and the agony of having to figure it all out myself because... let’s just say... I was underwhelmed with the resources out there. Well, now with these videos (or audios) you don’t don’t have to waste the years I did.
