English with Dane

Hey, I"m Dane. I grew up bilingual and after 15 years of teaching and working with English learners, I"ve realised that true fluency comes from understanding how the language fits into real life. I created English with Dane to give Spanish speakers a calm approach to becoming fluent through practical conversations about language, culture, TV and current events. No stress, just English that makes sense and gets easier to use over time.
