Opening

Hello
Thanks for taking the time to read my blog. Recently I decided to write my own blog in one of the subjects I like about Spanish language.
In fact now I am a stay at home mom but for 10 years I taugh Spanish as a second language. All this inspires me to share some of the aspects where my students presented the most frequent problems.

As many Spanish learners have experienced in this language words are pronounced in a different way than English is, even though they can be written in the same fashion. Lets talk about that!
