Say Hola to Spanish!
¿Dónde está Señora Raquel? — español en acción
From these enriching experiences, I hope to bring back a wealth of knowledge to share with my students and to share the experience in future summer trips to La Amistad National Park at El camino de cielo, an UNESCO World Heritage site, within a virgin rainforest (click here for REAL rainforest sounds).

Private ESL Group Lessons
la Casa de Señora Raquel
A group of Colombian generals here on assignment for 6 months with their families recently hired me to teach English to their children ages 10-18. I will be working with them right up until our Spanish classes begin again in the fall. Seeing the other side of the coin, so to speak, of second language acquisition from Spanish to English should be interesting. And when we break for lunch, I get to ask them all the questions about Colombia I've ever wanted to know and to practice my Spanish with them. Today they confirmed El Día de los Inocentes is still celebrated as a day for pranks and practical jokes as we learned in our intensive reading at the end of Spanish I+ last year.

New Job - English Language Institute
Columbus State University
As the new Program Coordinator of this program, I am afforded so many wonderful opportunities to interact with people from all walks of life and all parts of the world, but obviously my favorite interactions have to do with those people who speak either Spanish or French natively. This opportunity has allowed me to continue to keep my language comprehension and speaking abilities fresh and improving. If you don't use it, you lose it!

Visita a mis amigos - la familia Vivas
Bogotá, Colombia
When I worked teaching English as a Second Language to a group of Colombian children a few summers ago, I was fortunate enough to befriend the Vivas family. Now I have been invited to visit them in their home in Colombia. I will be gone the entire week of Thanksgiving (not celebrated in Colombia). I am planning to take a recipe book collected from my students that showcases traditional, American-Southern cuisine, and I will also take any books, music, etc. that you would like to contribute to the cultural buffet.
In my capacity as the Program Coordinator for the English Language Institute, I may also have the opportunity to appear on television in Colombia to talk about the English program. I'll tell you all about it when I get back.

El camino de cielo EcoResort Preview & Setup Trip
Chiriqui, Panama
Through a colleague at Valley Language Services in Columbus, I have just been invited to join a group going to Chiriqui, Panama this December to tour the new sustainable living facilities within a new EcoResort called El camino de cielo (Heaven's Way). Groups of homeschoolers from around the country will soon be invited to visit this EcoResort for language, culture, and ecology immersion programs available year-round.
