Spanish has always been an incredible skill that I wanted to learn, studies have shown how usefull and beneficial it has been to the huiman mind, bilingual speakers are more capable of compassion and know how to think in multiple dimensions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this website I want to show you he process of this semester and the process of learning Spanish, as well as my own growth in the language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a child, my father always sang to me in Spanish, he lived in Chile for two years, and I always wanted to learn to sing with him. Now I can! My father is not the only Spanish speaker in the family, my aunt is from Columbia and I grew up with her making Arepas and singing to us, then she would speak to us in Spanish before translating in English. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arepas: a type of food made up of ground maize dough. We often eat it with cream cheese and\/or ham. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
