For a full transcript of this episode, please visit www.spanishencontexto.com. If you're trying to learn a language, like Spanish, how important is it that your teacher be a native speaker? What are the advantages and disadvantages of speaking the target language as your mother tongue? In this episode, I consider the advantages and disadvantages of both native and non-native speakers in the Spanish language. Furthermore, I share the results of an extremely casual survey within my university program as well as my own experience teaching Spanish as a native English speaker.
