My Story:
Teaching high school English was my job. Leaving teaching due to illness was heartbreaking. I was 45 years old. It gave me time, however, to study a language: Spanish! I took my workbook everywhere. Then my husband came home laughing from a class by Bryce Hedstrom. Laughing and learning!?! Thus began my journey into acquiring Spanish by hearing and watching stories that I understood. I feel so fortunate to have had Bryce as my teacher and mentor. Sharing the joy of learning Spanish and Spanish culture with older adults has been a privilege. (I also enjoy teaching English with the same strategies!)
Mi historia:
Enseñar inglés en la escuela secundaria era mi trabajo. Dejar la docencia debido a una enfermedad fue desgarrador. Tenía 45 años. Sin embargo, me dio tiempo para estudiar un idioma: ¡el español! Llevaba mi cuaderno de trabajo a todas partes. Entonces mi esposo llegó a casa riendo de una clase de Bryce Hedstrom. Riendo y aprendiendo?! Así comenzó mi viaje hacia la adquisición del español escuchando y viendo historias que entendía. Me siento muy afortunada de haber tenido a Bryce como mi maestro y mentor. Compartir la alegría de aprender inglés con los adultos mayores ha sido un privilegio. (¡También disfruto enseñando español con las mismas estrategias!)
