In this week’s Coffee Break, Carrie sits down with one of her closest friends, Georgina Tanefski—better known in our homeschool community as Señora T. A bilingual speaker with over ten years of teaching & tutoring experience, Señora T has been teaching Conversational Spanish to homeschoolers through fun, engaging, and inexpensive activities. She has successfully taught her own children and grandchild, along with hundreds of homeschool families across Southern California. In this episode, Carrie and Señora T discuss the many benefits of learning a second language and how to do it naturally—without declensions, conjugations, or endless grammar drills. If you’re looking for a relaxed and effective way to help your children learn Conversational Spanish (or any second language) at home, this episode is for you. Pour yourself a cup of espresso, put your feet up, and join Georgina and Carrie for a little coffee and conversation about learning Spanish.
