I took my first language course (French) in kindergarten and my second in high school where I struggled to learn Spanish. Yep, it's true! Spanish was difficult for me when I first started trying to learn it because my instructor's teaching style didn't match my learning style, and I just couldn't make the connection. 

This was one of the reasons that I decided to pursue teaching as a career. After college, I spent three months backpacking across Europe and Africa and fell in love with process of learning languages. It was living among another culture and meeting new people that encouraged me to give languages another try. Fast forward twenty years, and I am still living and breathing French and Spanish as much as possible, in fact I just spent my entire summer in Costa Rica making videos and taking pictures for my students. I can't wait to share them with you! 

Languages have opened so many doors for me, and they can for you too! I encourage you to make the commitment to become proficient in another language. You will be glad you did!
