study routines

In this episode we continue the Black Expat series with an interview with Kayla Rodriguez, a member of Spanish Con Salsa who started learning with us and has recently moved to the Dominican Republic.

In this interview, Kayla talks all about why she decided to move to the DR. She tells us a bit about the expat community there and how they adjust to the Dominican lifestyle and culture. Kayla also shares the true cost of living on the island from clothes to technology, and why a 'colmado' is a lifesaver.

She also talks about how safe it is to live there--despite what people from the outside may think--and how she's been using her Dominican Spanish 101 Book to communicate better with the locals.

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.⁣
