Saguaro Spanish

I have been a teacher for 26 years. I cannot imagine doing anything else. I have taught Elementary Spanish, Middle School Spanish, High School Spanish, High School American Government, adult corporate learners and adult ESL students. I've taught in public schools, charter schools, private schools, online schools, in migrant camps and in large corporation board rooms.

Since switching to Comprehensible Input, I've noticed an amazing transformation in my students' motivation and language acquisition. We enjoy reading, creating, dancing, singing, speaking, and listening every day.
