Episode 3: Teaching Spanish To American Students
Carmela from Spain tells us about her first day teaching Spanish at a college in the United States. She’s nervous about starting this new job and wonders if the students will be able to follow a whole class taught only in Spanish. It turns out, her concerns aren’t completely unfounded.
