I will share my experiences and insights of living in and visiting other countries and cultures. I have written 2 books about the places I have lived in and visited. I have taken students on trips to several places and will share what we have learned through shared events, memorable natives, and funny situations. My stories will be written and spoken in Spanglish, (English with every cognate written in Spanish) This is a quick way to learn the Spanish that you already know, but just don’t know that you know it.  Cognates are words similar in both languages, they look about the same, spelled about the same, pronounced about the same, and most importantly, mean the same in both languages. Normal writing and speech contain between 15%-30% cognates between Spanish and English! So, 15%-30% 0f the story will be in Spanish! That means at least 50-200 cognate words in each story or even more! The student won’t need to know a word of Spanish to understand the stories, but they will learn a lot of Spanish that they don’t know that they already know if they listen to and read the stories!
