ABOUT MY RESOURCES

Creating hands-on, relevant, interesting language learning materials has been my passion for the past decade. But, I began to pursue it seriously when I had my first daughter.

In general, finding flexible materials that would work for different ages and levels, was difficult, The ones that I did find were expensive, and never included both of the languages. So, I began selling the activities that I already used in class.

Many of the activities are inspired by everyday life events that we go through as a bilingual family - or - directly by my own children, especially reinforcing both their English and Spanish language skills equally.
