Learn about my Language Adventures
Lingoda Honest Review
After my summer language adventure in Spain, I was set on continuing to learn Spanish, but I didn’t have time to attend in-person classes due to my new job. So I decided to start online classes with my Colombian friend, who is a Spanish teacher. However, after a few months, she got pregnant and wasn’t able to continue teaching me for the time being. That’s when I remembered Lingoda, a language-learning platform that had been on my radar for a while. So I finally decided it was time to check it out.

Since I’ve always enjoyed watching TV shows and movies, I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone and watch the legendary Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) in its original language. That’s when I remembered Lingopie—a platform that YouTube had been recommending to me for a while—and decided to give it a try.
Mastering English at Wisconsin ESL Institute in Madison, USA
Last year, I worked as a camp counselor and teacher at the Wisconsin English as a Second Language (WESLI) Institute in Madison, the city I call home.

Through this experience, I not only gained insight into how the school operates but also met students from different corners of the globe and created wonderful memories.
