Hi! I'm Erica Ray Limones, certified language coach and Spanish teacher. I'm here to help you finally master the Spanish language with strategies that work and through the power of authentic conversations and stories.
I learned fluent Spanish while still in The States, without studying it in college and long before stepping foot abroad, and I know that you can too! Years later, when I moved to Mexico, the integration process was not nearly as challenging as it would have been if the language had been a hurdle.
I've been working professionally with the Spanish language since 2008 (as a medical interpreter, translator, teacher, and language coach).
Learning Spanish changed my life for the better, both personally and professionally, and I'm here to share this amazing experience I've received with you so that you can change your life too.

Usted es excelente profesora.
I loved the quiz and the picture questions at the end! This was so comprehensive. Me favorita estación es el verano, por qué me cumpleaños es en julio. Me gusta cuando hace sol. Cuando hace buen tiempo, ando con mi perro.
Qué bueno que te gustó y gracias por tu respuesta!
Hi! Erica I don't know if you will receive this text but l really want to do better with Learning Spanish and l just started watching you, l have been studying off and on for a long time but then l stop. So cam you tell me some way's that will help me learn.
"Notice it, and accept it." Lol true true. Hard but true.
I really enjoyed your video, and what a precious family. Your dad made me laugh, of course he has the best grandchildren🥰 I can see the love in his eyes 💕
Been there
From what I know about the comprehensible input approach, it contains a very important point: while consuming the comprehensible input, you should WAIT for an URGE to use the target language for output. This is the criterion when you should begin trying to generate the output. Not when a teacher tells you to, not when a textbook invites you to do exercises... you wait, then you feel the urge, then you start outputting. Another option is when you NEED or HAVE to do the output due to external circumstances) that works too.
I have about 10,000 screnshots based on vocabulary or expressions i encounter when reading the news, learning a song etc.
Yo estoy aprendiendo inglés por mi mismo en una app de Duolingo saludos ✌️🚴🏻♂️
Great video, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ok it’s like you know me. I was doing all the things you talked about. I’m REALLY trying to learn the language. I’ll try your approach more and be more patient with myself. Thanks!
You got this!
This is so helpful!!!
Super lesson. Beautiful Spanish and of course excellent English.
I’ve been using Duolingo for a year. It has helped a lot but not with the real world speaking conversations in which I lack. Is Duolingo considered a structured self study program?
omg you're amazing! very inspirational for my studies. thanks for sharing.
Thank you and best wishes!
I definitely think that language learning is indeed multiple approaches input/output. As a failed student of elementary Spanish immersion I could not pick up the language just hearing the teacher all day or learning singular vocabulary words after years of input only. I definitely think some contextual grammar instruction (in English) then practicing small word groups with verbs goes a long way. I went from completely overwhelmed and tuning out Spanish after I discovered this and changed my approach from trying to master all the rules before speaking to just embracing my broken 4 year old Spanish and learning new inputs as I go
I love your insights!
Excellent!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
I need someone to make me a study plan including the materials etc and which videos to watch. I have ADHD.
You speak way too fast for me.
Slow the video then…
Erica- Me gusta mucho su video, y ahora tengo hambre. *ja,ja
¡Jaja! ¡A comer!
This is how I recently began remembering my Spanish and building on it. But I was overwhelmed by verbs. Now I see my thoughts on learning are a good means to do so. ¡Muchas gracias por confirmarlo!
¡Excelente!
Estoy de acuerdo
Great lesson and explanation
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Great teacher.
Muchas gracias!
I really enjoyed your story. It would be more enjoyable and easier to hear without the music.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment about the music! We'll keep that in mind! 😊
That was so helpful! Thank you
Happy to hear it!
Love this!
I don't think Chinese men ready for this kind of action behind closed doors.😊
Well done! This was applied Spanish language, which was much more interesting to follow.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Erica, you've always said this is the best way to learn and i really enjoyed this and learned a lot
I'm thrilled to hear that! 😃👏
Well your hubby definitely has a sophisticated, adventurous palate. I could only understand a few words but I am encouraged to learn more.
Yes he does! 😅 Great that you could understand some. Hopefully some of the aids (subtitles, the PDF, etc...) will help you further! 😊
mi comida favorita es frijoles y arroz. Soy vegana. Como muchas frutas y verduras.disfrute el video
¡¡Qué rico!! ¡Me alegra que hayas disfrutado el video!
Very nice video!👍
Gracias, Ben!!
Wow, You speak Spanish so elegantly ❤
Thank you!
He estado experimentando con chiles mexicanos para hacer salsa barbacoa, pero no he tenido mucho éxito. Necesito una buena receta.
Trataré de hacer un video pronto! Pero la barbacoa a la que nos referimos en el video es una clase de carne deshebrada (no "barbecue sauce") 🙂
Jajaja.. yo todo lo contrario. Creo que me traumé tanto caldo y pescado. Si lo como algunas veces . Pero no es mi preferencia . 😂.
😅
Cute video and I am celebrating because I was able to understand most of it!!! Gracias....
WOW! Awesome job!! 👏🤩
Mr. Kabob! Oh, how I miss going there with you! 💗Your next visit we must go and take the girls! Great video! I learned a lot of vocabulary!
Yes!! We definitely will!! 😃 Awesome!
My food doesn't usually come out a mi gusto when I cook at home, lol. Maybe I'm forgetting to add the amor!
Es el ingrediente clave! 😁

hi thank you very good your video I am a digital marketer AND SEO expert I want to work with your channel thank you again except my comment,
4:12 How do you do this? Don't you have to listen to what they say? And how can you immediately start after they speak? Aren't some words of english like later on in the sentence that come first in a spanish sentence? Sorry if my english is bad.
How can you say something at the same time as the speaker? It doesn't make any sense. You won't know what they are saying
Yes please I’d love a birth story !❤
Add hindi and english word in conversation😊
Thanks for the pointers
She goes to church on Saturday... 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Your analogy is brilliant. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
¡Eres una maestra increíble! He estado viendo tus vídeos estos últimos días, sin parar. Me encanta tu método de enseñanza. Esto es lo que he estado necesitando. Llevo años aprendiendo español por mi cuenta. Mi problema es entenderlo cuando la gente hablan demasiado rápido. Tus videos son los que me ayudarán a pasar al siguiente nivel. Acabo de empezar a conectarme con una congregación en español por Zoom aunque estoy en inglés. Eso también es útil. Sigan con el buen trabajo.
¡Muchísimas gracias! ¡Te irá muy bien! 😊
Learning in context is helpful, yes. I have recently started doing that. Thanks.
Awesome!
