I have studied Spanish for a total of 12 years, from fifth grade until I was a s... enior in college. I have studied under teachers from nine different Spanish-speaking countries, including Spain, and can help students distinguish between the different dialects and vocabulary. As a learner of Spanish, I have always prided myself in learning correct pronunciation and grammar, as well as having an immersive experience the language. This includes reading works in Spanish, watching TV shows and movies (both translated from English and originating in Spanish-speaking countries), listening to Spanish music, and interacting with other Spanish speakers. I have not only taken AP Spanish in high school, which I scored a 5 on, but also have taken conversational classes throughout college. Additionally, I have gotten the opportunity to use my Spanish-speaking and translation skills in several jobs as well as on vacations such as my most recent one to Mexico.read more
