I’m sure most of you, like me, are excited to put 2020 behind you and welcome a fresh start with 2021!

Any time I switch roles and become the language learner, I’m reminded of just how hard the process of language acquisition is. ItContinue reading “High Frequency Word Wall”

Welcome to my blog!
I’m so happy you’re here! I’m a former English as a Second Language teacher that recently transitioned to teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language. While both subjects involve two of my passions – education and language – there is so much about teaching a foreign language that I didn’t know about before!
