Spanish Learning Resources
Guides to the grammar that stalls intermediate learners: subjunctive, ser vs. estar, past tenses. The same research our curriculum is built on.
Spanish Subjunctive vs. Indicative: Opinion and Doubt
Mood follows what you do with the proposition: assert it and use the indicative, reject or evaluate it and use the subjunctive.
Spanish Si Clauses: The Three Conditional Patterns
The conditional never follows si. Each of the three condition types locks its two clauses into one fixed tense pair.
Spanish Transition Words and Connectors, by Job
Spanish transition words sort by job, not by formality: contrast, concession, explanation, reformulation. Pick the relationship, then the phrase.
Geoff Bloom
Language Learner and Dioma Founder
I built Dioma’s approach to answer a question that I kept hitting on my language learning journey: “What actually moves the needle at the intermediate plateau, and what doesn’t?”
After 10 years of language learning across Spanish and Hebrew, I did a 6 month experiment where I tracked my errors by hand for a year.
Because of my busy life (3 kids, career)- the part of my routine that required feedback, speaking and writing, only made up eight to ten percent of my time.
I decided to build Dioma to close that gap, with targeted practice and real-time corrections on what you produce.
