About Me

I learned Spanish while living as an exchange student in Ecuador the year before I went to college (1989-1990). I became fluent during that time. I worked as an Assistant Teacher to the Spanish Department while studying at Davidson College and enjoyed getting to know the students & expanding their understanding of the Spanish language & the Latin American culture. I had the privilege of studying in Spain during my Junior year, which deepened my appreciation for the roots of the language. I worked as a Spanish/English interpreter for the Orange County courts as my Summer job during those years. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share what I learned.

Q&A with Christy

Total immersion in a subject teaches any of us best. This is particularly true of language. Our brains naturally decode the language that is spoken around us: if we are present and we listen, we WILL learn. Rarely, if ever, does life allow complete immersion into a particular subject matter. However, with focus and continued exposure (practice) the language code becomes our own and expression in that language becomes natural. Natural expression, using a new skill set or lesson, is the ultimate goal of education. Our world, or, our horizon, then broadens, as do our opportunities.
