  • Open House

    I love all of your podcasts! You are so generous, kind, and supportive. You obviously love your students and created a welcoming, safe environment while using tons of Spanish. I used your ideas for Open House tonight and it went so well!!! We also had only 7 min. The format really shows them the importance of being comprehensible, but also the role of the students. Thank you so much!
