I love offering free demo classes b/c most people have felt unsuccessful in their past language classes and Express Fluency classes are different! I can talk about it all day, but the best thing is to experience it for yourself. If you are near Brattleboro, VT join me this Wednesday, Oct 30 at 1pm or 6pm! 12 Flat Street.

Marianna’s advanced-beginner Italian class started last week! It’s not too late to join. Marianna is an amazing teacher! She is able to speak Italian comprehensibly for the whole class time. Her students sign up every session bc she builds community and makes acquiring Italian so much fun! #italian #learnitalian #comprehensibleinput #zoom
Join @andywinter1 and I in Brattleboro this Wednesday, October 2nd at 6:30 pm to learn more about what is really happening at the US /Mexico border. (Not what you read/see in the news.) #border #nooneisillegal #frontera
Fifteen(!) years ago I went to my first workshop on Acquisition-Driven Instruction and it completely changed how I taught Spanish and it also changed my life! I love sharing how language acquisition works and giving people a sense of how it is posible to not only acquire a new language but to also enjoy the process.Sooo many people struggled in their language classes in school and now feel like they are “just not good at languages”. I love showing people that it’s just that the way we were taught was not aligned with how our brains are hardwired to acquire language. If you missed the free class, comment below or DM me and I will send you a link.

New French class!!! So excited to welcome @mmeforker to the team! She will be teaching Beginner French this summer on Thursday evenings starting June 20th!
Even if you have studied French before this could be a great class for you! (I still benefit from Beginner French classes even after many years of conventional classes). Link in bio.

Last call for a new session of Spanish classes starting Monday. One option is for beginners (or anyone who struggles to put words together) and meets 2x/week for 6 weeks. (You can also just join once a week and watch the replay of the second session.) The other new class meets for 1 hour a day for 5 days and is for students who identify as "advanced-beginner" or "intermediate". Both on Zoom. I hope you can join us! Link in bio.

I had the opportunity to teach English last week at the Casa de la Misericordia y Todas la Naciones in Nogales, Sonora. The casa is a shelter for asylum seekers waiting for their appointments at the Nogales port of entry. Most people are having to wait several months for an apt. The English teacher couldn’t make it the first day we were there so I offered to teach class. The funny thing is that I used to think that I couldn’t teach English bc I don’t know the “rules”. After I learned how to teach with Comprensible Input I realized that knowing “rules” has nothing to do with the ability to speak a language. Look at little kids! They don’t learn grammar rules until after they can understand and speak a language. So here I am teaching English and having a blast! After the first day the students asked if I would teach another class before I left the casa which I did with pleasure.
A new session of French classes starts this week! (link in bio)
I love Alice`s French classes! I have not been able to participate in the live classes recently, but I get so much from the recordings! Here is a recent testimonial from one of her students:
"I`ve been enrolled in both Beginner Plus and Intermediate French classes this winter. At both levels, Alice brings the language to us in ways that we can understand, never pushing us too hard but using a variety of techniques to expand our knowledge and confidence, bit by bit. Some students start out shy, but Alice`s positive, encouraging, good-humored approach pulls them right in, and soon we have a comfortable, committed group. No session goes by without constant smiles and laughter.
Alice is the best teacher I`ve ever had, and I`m 75 years old."

Here it is. A video from the best birthday party ever. Celebrated in the company of asylum seekers from all over the world. So much love and joy from people I had just met hours before. I wish the whole video could fit in reels… the singing goes on and on. I am constantly in awe of what people have gone through to arrive here and how they can still show up so fully. #nohayfronteras #humanity #happybirthday #felizcumpleaños @borderdiaries1
