Welcome!
As a young Christian, college student, I loved taking Spanish class. I loved the language, was fascinated by the culture, and intrigued by the people. Spanish language opened up my perspective to a whole new world of ways that people lived and thought. I couldn't get enough. As much as I wanted to learn more and grow in my language abilities, I struggled. Spanish culture (just like American culture) is fallen. A great deal of the media, one of the few free resources, is full of sex, drugs, drinking, illicit relationships, and violence. That is what’s prized by society now-a-days. The leading line of media which is deemed “high quality” is what makes it across borders. As a result, that is mostly what I encountered as a novice speaker looking experience the language.
I have no taste for that kind of media. Practicing Spanish, to me, was not worth compromising my conscience. It was an enormous challenge especially as a novice speaker, to find ways to grow in my skills.
Because, let’s face it. Curriculum can be expensive. I believe the benefits that come from learning a new language and a new culture don’t have a price.
Whether you’re a just starting out as a student in Spanish, a homeschool mom looking to teach your children Spanish on a budget, or a veteran looking to maintain your skills, this blog is here to be a safe safe, wholesome environment in which to learn Spanish.
So make yourself comfortable, maybe grab a cup of something hot, and let's dive in together to learn some Spanish!
