Greatest Hits!
We are in August already, and it is hot and sunny out there, or as we say in Spanish “Que calor!!”.
Throughout these last few weeks, I have been impressed with how hard my students are working to learn this wonderful language. Their passion feeds my passion, and the laughter we share during our classes is the universal expression of joy!
From the beginners who are learning the basics, to my more advanced learners who are charting new paths with their hard work, the key to advancement is practice and vocabulary. When a student finds joy in these two necessary parts of our learning together, there is no limit to the joy Spanish can bring someone.
So Muchas Gracias, a mis estudiantes!!!
