If you're an adult learning Spanish, you might regret that you didn't start when you were  younger.  And if you have children of your own, you may want them to grow up bilingual so they have an advantage you might not have had.⁣
⁣
The good news is, there's no need to wait.  In this episode, I chat with Dr. Kami Anderson, founder and CEO of Bilingual Brown Babies. ⁣
⁣
She'll share how you can start your own journey to raising bilingual children.   We talk about the best ways to teach your children Spanish--even if you're not fluent yet--and some basic phrases you can start using around the house right away.⁣

In this episode I interview Carolina Quiroga--storyteller, performer, author, and host of the bilingual podcast Tres Cuentos. 

Tres Cuentos explores historical and literary narratives of Latin America. Last year, the podcast was mentioned by Oprah magazine as one of the best Latino and Spanish podcasts for learning and laughing.

In our conversation, Carolina shares the power of connecting with Latin American culture through its stories, music, and art. She also talks about her own language learning journey.

This interview is in English.

Want to win a copy of Carolina's book The Hungry Goddess and the Five Suns?  It's a beautifully illustrated book that tells Aztec origin stories in English with Spanish expressions used throughout.  A great learning resource!  To enter, share this episode on Facebook or Instagram and tag @learnspanishconsalsa and @tres_cuentos_podcast

In Learn Spanish Con Salsa Podcast, our listeners' useful questions are always welcome. They can also help other listeners learn even more about Spanish.

In this espisode, I focus on an interesting question from Alice. She asks: 
"I am wondering if you might explain how and when vaya (ir)and sea (ser) are used in sentences. I know they're are imperative but I've seen them used in other situations."

I answer that question by explaining the different uses of the words with examples using grammar and expressions.

Let's learn Spanish with an uplifting salsa song by Salsa Giants called Bajo la tormenta (Under the Storm).  We'll explore how to use el que in Spanish with the letra (lyrics) from the song's chorus.

I'll also give a few phrases you can use in conversations with your language exchange partners as we're all dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Listen to the song and read the lyrics + translation on the show notes page.

Do you have to move to a Spanish-speaking country to achieve fluency? In this episode,  I sit down with Jessica Taylor, widely known as DJ Tay, who shares how immersion helped her improve her conversational Spanish fluency beyond formal education.   

Jessica is the founder of For the Love of Bachata, known for its wildly popular dance festivals.  She shares her story of how she went from reluctant Spanish student to Spanish teacher and sought-after Latin music DJ.

In this final episode of the goal-setting series, we’re going to tackle the topic of grammar.  I know Spanish grammar can be very confusing. Although it might be complicated, there is a way to master Spanish grammar easily without giving yourself a headache trying to memorize massive verb conjugation charts.
