Nacho and I discuss how real communication beats grammar perfection. You’ll learn practical ways to build English confidence, including listening to podcasts, watching movies, and other immersive media (even passively) so your brain becomes familiar with natural speech patterns.

This episode also explores the emotional barriers that hold back Spanish professionals in high-level roles, such as fear of judgment, comparison with others, and overthinking. Nacho shows how to shift focus from perfection to connection, helping you communicate more naturally in meetings and presentations.

If you’ve ever hesitated to speak in English despite knowing the language, this episode will give you one clear takeaway: practice, exposure, and mindset adjustments unlock real confidence.
