Spanish is a much easier language to learn and teach than English. I am a born English speaker and became fluent in Spanish only by living and conversing and working with other Spanish speakers, in Puerto Rico. I never attended a class but somehow I have an ease with languages that translates to an ability to teach language. The way I learn and teach is by direct association (not translation) and through exchanges, conversation, lessons in only one language until a point is reached where the language 'clicks' into it's own place in the mind. Those who learn this way, use one portion of their language thought in English and another in Spanish. Doesn't make sense? I'm more than willing to put my Spanish where your brain is. :o)

Preschoolers are the most delightful learners. Like little sponges, they soak up reading, writing, art, or language. Learning is best through activities and fun. The gift is knowing when, how, and for how long to teach as well as when to play, rest, and sleep. Children deserve knowledge and dreams. They also deserve respect and kindness.

Deaf dogs are wonderful pets that you can best reach through touch and by establishing a language (aside from the usual obedience commands) that not all dogs can appreciate in the same way. Do you have a deaf dog? Are you in need of a way to communicate better with him/her? I can also teach you how to communicate with deaf people. :o)
