In this episode, Toni and Leslie talk with Irma Gomez, founder of Spanish Lessons York. Irma shares her inspiring journey from Mexico City to York, England, where she transformed her passion for teaching languages into a thriving business. Discover how Irma balances motherhood, entrepreneurship, and personal growth while creating a unique learning experience for her students. KEY TAKEAWAYS Irma's move from Mexico to York for education led to unexpected personal and professional opportunities, highlighting the importance of embracing change. Transitioning from corporate life to motherhood prompted Irma to reevaluate her priorities and create a business that aligned with her passions and family needs. Starting a local language teaching business required tenacity and creative marketing, including leveraging social media to find and connect with potential clients. The COVID-19 pandemic forced Irma to adapt her teaching methods, opening up new possibilities for online lessons and expanding her reach beyond local boundaries. Irma believes in the importance of knowing your market and understanding that your ideal client may have different needs and preferences than your own. Continuous learning and adapting to new technologies, like AI, is crucial for staying relevant and growing a business in the constantly changing digital world. Irma's approach to teaching Spanish goes beyond grammar, incorporating cultural elements and personal experiences to make lessons more engaging and relevant. Finding a balance between work and personal life is essential, as demonstrated by Irma's focus on family and pursuit of personal interests like baking. BEST MOMENTS  "I don't want to be skint, but I then knew that I could do something alongside motherhood because I didn't want to give up motherhood at all." "So it's teaching. It's definitely teaching. So I, I started to get as well, like qualifications to teach Spanish because of course I knew how to teach English because I did it." "Languages are my passion. So I keep training on things." "I think this age. Because I think it's  the here and now is what I like more. I already been however many years I was and did what I did and right now I'm more focused on the here and now." "And I think it's really important that when, you know, when you're trying to find a business or a job that it actually does light you up." ABOUT THE GUEST I'm Irma and I love making sure people who are learning Spanish have a wonderful experience and speak with confidence. Languages are doors that open your mind into other worlds. Learning a language keeps you fit and engaged, so having experienced that myself, I now make sure everyone who attends my lessons feel the same.

Is our assessment and grading system aligned with how we teach?  We're opening the episode with this important question.Join me in this conversation with Michelle Olah while we discuss aligning grading practices with actual language proficiency. We discuss the disconnect between traditional grading systems and what we do in class, discussing the need for a shift towards proficiency-based assessments.We also explore the implications of such a shift, including the philosophical and logistical changes required to implement grading practices that genuinely reflect students' abilities to communicate and understand the language.Throughout the discussion, we provide insights into transitioning from a traditional grading system, which often emphasizes rote memorization and penalizes mistakes, to a more dynamic, proficiency-based approach that celebrates communicative competence and real-world language use. The episode also highlights practical strategies for developing rubrics aligned with proficiency standards, engaging with students and parents about the changes, and ensuring grading practices promote equity and motivation.Key Highlights:Understanding Proficiency-Based Grading.Practical Tips on Implementing Changes.RubricsReflections on Equity in Grading.Resources Mentioned:ACTFL Proficiency GuidelinesClaudia's community on Facebook: Growing with CIFollow Claudia on Instagram: @ClaudiaMElliottFollow Michelle on Instagram: @WorldLangCoachComprehensible & Communicative Langauge Teaching Teacher GuideWaitlist GWP The Spanish Teacher AcademyGrowing with Proficiency BlogBio:Michelle Olah is a world language leader, podcaster, facilitator, and instructional coach.

When Tim Griffith was coaching soccer and reading ancient Roman rhetorical theory, he realized he had stumbled across a pedagogical goldmine. In this episode, Jonathan and Ryan talk with Tim about raising kids as native Latin speakers, the roles that comprehensible input vs. grammar instruction play in the language classroom, prescriptive versus descriptive grammar, and Roman rhetoric. The product of years of experience and study, Tim's approach to teaching Latin has borne fruit in his students at New Saint Andrews College, in his curriculum projects at Picta Dicta, and in no small way in the influence he has had on the Ancient Language Institute.Rhetorica Ad Herennium: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780674994447Quintilian's Institutes of Oratory (Volume I): https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780674995918Picta Dicta: https://pictadicta.com/Shop Picta Dicta at Roman Roads Press: https://romanroadspress.com/latinHans Ørberg's Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata: Familia Romana: https://amzn.to/3hoLz7VW.H.D.

the coffee was consumed, the food as well.Hu: A hely lassan megtelt.En: The place slowly filled up.Hu: Szabolcs és Mona is beleszédültek az értelmetlenségekbe.En: Szabolcs and Mona became dizzy with the meaninglessness.Hu: Az idő telik.En: Time goes by.Hu: A nap feljön, a hold lemegy.En: The sun rises, the moon sets.Hu: A csillagok parádéznak az éjszakai égbolton, a Nap pedig kigyúl a napfényben.En: The stars parade in the night sky, and the sun lights up in the sunlight.Hu: A diák tanul, a tanár tanít.En: The student learns, the teacher teaches.Hu: Az élet, mint egy folyó, hozza a változásokat.En: Life, like a river, brings changes.Hu: Egy nap Mona megállapította, hogy elég.En: One day, Mona decided it was enough.Hu: Eleinte Szabolcs meglepődött, aztán mosolyogni kezdett.En: At first, Szabolcs was surprised, then he started smiling.Hu: Mona megtanult egy egészen új nyelvet, egy egészen új módon.En: Mona had learned a completely new language, in a completely new way.Hu: Szabolcs otthagyta a bérházat, találkozott az ismeretlennel, majd visszatért a bérházhoz.En: Szabolcs left the apartment building, met the unknown, and then returned to the building.Hu: Ott volt az ajtóban, ott volt a lépcsőn és ott volt a lakásjában is.En: It was there at the door, it was there on the stairs, and it was there in the apartment.Hu: A kaland véget ért, de a benyomások mindig velük maradtak.En: The adventure came to an end, but the impressions always stayed with them.Hu: Szabolcs sosem fogja elfelejteni, hogyan tanított magyarul értelmetlen mondatokkal.En: Szabolcs will never forget how he taught Hungarian with meaningless sentences.Hu: És Mona sosem felejti el, hogyan tanult meg magyarul értelmetlen mondatok segítségével.En: And Mona will never forget how she learned Hungarian with the help of meaningless sentences.Hu: Szabolcs, mint mindig, a sarki pékségben hagyta a napot.En: As always, Szabolcs left the day at the corner bakery.Hu: A finom kifli szagával a levegőben pedig az élet folytatódott, egy Budapest feletti napkelte társaságában.En: With the smell of delicious rolls in the air, life continued, in the company of a sunrise above Budapest.

In this special "bookless" episode (in which we actually talk about many books), the Spoilers take on the question of language use in the classroom -- specifically, what do we do as teachers when material we want to use with students contains offensive and/or hurtful language? We decided to discuss this subject, first, because Anita had been thinking about it a lot and wanted to see what we thought, but also because we all happened to be in the same town together for the first time in almost three years and we needed to talk about something! None of us were finished reading The Cutting Season, so we had to figure out what else we could discuss for the episode. We settled on this question, and it did not disappoint. Our conversation touches on multiple aspects of teaching and ends up providing insight into how each of us understands our role in the classroom (whatever kind of classroom it may be). We hope you enjoy it! (THIS EPISODE CONTAINS OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE.)
