As we step into a new school year, one word guides everything: sustainability.
In this first episode of a 4-part summer series, I’m breaking down the key to a successful and sustainable language class—one that doesn't run on exhaustion. You’ll learn about the 3 essential pillars that create a joyful, communicative, and manageable classroom experience—plus the one critical consideration teachers often overlook. Whether you're teaching Spanish or any world language, this episode will help you set up your routines, relationships, and planning framework so you can teach with energy and intention all year long.
This is not just about strategies—it’s about making them last.
Grab your cafecito and let’s get started. ☕💬

✅ Why sustainability isn’t optional—it’s essential
✅ The role of context and how it shapes your classroom decisions
