America: Hola, my name is America Barcelo Feldman and I am a Spanish professor and journalist. I have a Bachelors Degree in Communications earned at UNAM (Mexico) and a Masters Degree in Spanish Arts and Culture earned at CCSUSM. I have been teaching Spanish language and culture in middle, high schools, and universities in my hometown of Mexico City as well in United States since 1999. In my free time, I love to travel and visit historic sites in the world. I am passionate about history and culture; it is the reason in my classes my students always travel virtually to explore the Hispanic World and learn about our roots and culture. I am passionate to share with everyone my love for culture, traditions, and customs. I strongly believe students can benefit to learn different languages experiencing the roots of the countries. Another one of my big hobbies is watching movies and attending cultural events. It is the reason my academic research has always focused on cinematography and culture. Hispanic countries are rich in culture traditions and customs, as well legends and myths. Every season of the year has a strong meaning and value. Come this winter to learn about holiday traditions and culture in the Hispanic World.
Carla: Hola!! My name is Carla. I’m from Argentina and I was lucky to be able to travel and live in many different countries of America and Asia (Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras, Mexico and Thailand), as well as 6 years in the US to improve my English. All these adventures allowed me to experience and learn the diversity and richness of the Spanish language and culture beyond the borders of my own country. Currently, I am living in Montevideo, Uruguay where I work as a Teacher.
I am a teacher who incorporates developmental psychology to keep students engaged, and I believe that play is an important part of learning. I am a professional and dynamic teacher, flexible and patient. I am very much looking forward to sharing my enthusiasm for the Spanish language with you. Let’s do it!

Yasmine Martinet
Pick one day each week for a new lesson:
Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 11am PST
I am Yasmine, I am 27 and I currently live in Salvador, Brazil. My father is French, my mother is Brazilian, and my husband is American. I studied German for my Bachelors and then English for my Masters, so I am fluent in four languages. I have lived over twenty years in Paris, then two years in Berlin, Germany, then six months in Oakland, California. I came around to teaching after three years of travelling, because I felt a strong need to share my love of languages and of foreign cultures. I am looking forward to sharing that with you!
Language is huge in adapting to and feeling comfortable in a foreign country. Even if some behaviors are strange, even if it’s a little scary at first, knowing the language allows you to ask questions, communicate with people, find your bearings: it is the perfect way into a place. I am very excited for you to get there! I am very professional teacher, with a lot of patience and humor. I’m all for having fun lessons and have the student’s curiosity and projects lead the class. Maintaining a positive attitude and creating positive language experiences is very important to me, and I will always do my best on that.
French can be a lot of fun! It can be anything we’d like. So, let’s get started!

Nihao! I am originally from southwest China and have lived in the US for many years. I love to travel, read, watch movies, and make friends. Teaching in both China and America has given me an opportunity to meet people from different cultures and backgrounds.
