        • Bienvenidos!

          Hola! And welcome! In this episode, I tell you about my life-long love story with Spanish. 

          I became bilingual while not living in a Spanish speaking country, while not using Spanish in the work-place, and while not having a Spanish speaking community surrounding me. I made this happen because my heart wanted it. Now, I want to share this love and what I've learned in the process with you!
