Episode 10: Celebrating AAPI Heritage Month: Meet my students

Final Episode Season 1: La despedida

In this conversation, Yaa said adiós to our Podcast.  This was a very emotional episode for us, and it´s one you don´t want to miss.  Yaa shared with us what she learned during these 4 years in her Spanish class, how she was able to grow so much in her proficiency journey, and she even gave some advice for teachers and students.  Yas also talked to me about her goals for the future.  I´m so proud and excited for her.    Thanks to Yaa this Podcast exists today.  She is moving on to her new stage in life but she will always have a special place in my class and my life.  Thank you, Yaa! Transcripts will be coming soon!

Episode 10: Celebrating AAPI Heritage Month: Meet my students

This can be our favorite conversation this year in our podcast.  We talked to five Asian / Asian American students about their stories, their love for their culture, and some of the stereotypes they hear all the time.   This conversation helped me, even more, to get to know them better, and discover the incredible gifts they have.  I know you´ll love this episode as much as Yaa and I did.  And if you do, please share it with someone you know would enjoy learning about the AAPI community.  Transcripts coming soon!

Episode 9: Una Leyenda Filipina - La Leyenda de los Pájaros y el Tuko

We are talking today with Carina,  one of my students.  She is sharing with us a legend that her dad told her as a child.  This legend reminds Carina of the Philippines.  Even though Carina was born in the United States,  she treasures these stories that remind her of her heritage.  This is a perfect legend to celebrate AAPI Heritage Month.  If you love this legend, share this podcast with others! Transcripts coming soon.

Episodio 8: La Casa de Bernarda Alba Parte 2

Tuvimos que crear una segunda parte para hablar con más profundidad del hombre y de algunos temas más del libro de La Casa de Bernarda Alba.  Así que si te perdiste el primer episodio,  te aconsejamos que escuches el episodio 7.   En este episodio, Yaa me cuenta un poco más del rol del hombre en el libro y también de la expresión "el que dirán" y su importancia para Bernarda. Esperamos que te guste.  La trasncripción estará disponible pronto.
