Tell us a meaningful Spanish-related story.

I was working at the Wesley Day Camp and one of the children (around four years old) was really quiet and didn't talk to any of the other kids. Earlier, I had heard his mom talking to him in Spanish so I went over and started to talk to him in Spanish and his face lit up and he started to interact more. It was so cute and he was so excited!

Any advice for students learning Spanish now?

Immerse yourself. Everyone says it, but you have to actually do it, no matter how intimidating.
