I was born, raised, and educated in Mexico and moved to this country 26-years ago. The Spanish I teach is the Spanish that can be understood in all Spanish speaking countries. This is not Spanish from Spain or Spanish from Google. I use a lot of drama (acting) and a lot of hands-on subjects such as clothing, pictures, candies, food, flags, and games in order to make learning Spanish easier and to keep the students engaged. I need lots of parent participation/supervision to help your student research the internet and to be sure he or she is practicing the new Spanish words learned during the week.
