“As a teacher, I have experienced over the last two decades the joy of achievement, by measuring the success of the many students I have taught from young ones to the young-at-heart.
In my teaching practice, I place a huge emphasis on the importance of immersion in the language and culture, through games, sports, films, music, books and simple but rich conversations.
I strongly believe that culture and language are inextricably linked and that a complete understanding of a language cannot be achieved without a thorough knowledge of the culture from which it springs”.
– Mónica Romero
Meet Your Co-Hosts
Samba
Hello! My name is Samba…
I’ve got an adventurous spirit and tons of energy. Running is my thing; I can go on for ages. It’s in my nature as a Golden Retriever to be this way.
My main job? I keep watch over our home and look after my people. My sibling, Rumba, takes on the role of alarm with all the barking. That’s our team effort.
What I love most is playtime with my Mummy. We have a blast tossing the tennis ball around, or playing hide-and-seek and tug-of-war.
Rumba
Hey there! I’m Rumba…
When it’s mealtime, you’ll find me the happiest. As a true Golden Retriever, I can’t hide my excitement, especially if it’s tuna on the menu—that gets me drooling!
Catching some z’s is my favourite pastime. Be it a comfy bed, a cosy chair, or a snug sofa, I can nap just about anywhere. But nothing beats snuggling up on the pillow right next to my Mummy.
