Great video! I totally agree with you. I have been a teacher for the last 24 years and my motto has always been "los errores son nuestros mejores amigos". I love making mistakes and learning from them and my students are motivated by that. Our mistakes are the steps we need to improve. I taught Spanish in the UK for almost 20 years and for the last 4 years I have been teaching Spanish and English in a secondary school in Germany and I have to explain grammar in German, which I am not very fluent in. I am between B1/B2 and I make mistakes, but I firmly believe that my mistakes in German can be a point to inspire students because they see that I am not afraid and that the main thing is to communicate and be understood (I try to use more Spanish and English, although it is also important to use German). Thanks for your video! Excellent points and I totally agree that schools also focus a lot on grammar, constantly correcting mistakes and trying to be perfect... But don't blame the teachers, it's the school system, most of us hate it but unfortunately we have to do it...
