Ever thought about how something as fun as the Spice Girls could kickstart a lifelong love for learning a language? Join me, Debbie Ross, as I chat with the amazing Claire. A passionate language teacher whose journey from learning Spanish in high school to fluency after living Argentina is anything but ordinary. We dive into how her love for Spanish not only changed her life but also helped her build real, meaningful connections in a completely new country. Claire shares some incredible stories from her time abroad and her experiences in the classroom, proving that learning a language is about so much more than just grammar and vocabulary.
We get into how to make language learning engaging, exciting, and useful. From hands-on activities that keep students hooked to cultural immersion trips, we talk about why real-life practice is so important. Claire breaks down how learning Spanish isn’t just about speaking another language. It sharpens your brain, boosts confidence, and makes you more adaptable. We also chat about how tech and pop culture keep lessons fresh and fun, plus Claire’s top tips for anyone wanting to start their own language-learning adventure.
