📚✨ Bilingual Book Club Announcement! ✨📚 Hola, valientes lectores y caballeros andantes! ⚔️ This Friday at 7 PM at the academy, our Special Bilingual Book Club meets again — and we’re riding straight into Chapter 3 of Don Quijote de La Mancha! 🐴📖 What madness awaits in Chapter 3?

That's exactly what happens when you’re transplanted into the rhythms of a new culture. After six years in Spain, I still don’t think I’ll ever fully get used to Spain’s daily tempo.

I woke with a start. Blinding rays of sunlight lit up the room like a divine spotlight, and I fumbled for my watch with a growing sense of d

"Trust me," I almost pleaded with my student, "don’t pronounce the W in the word answer." Then came the million-dollar question: Then why..
