Spanish and Latin teacher who unfortunately has a disabled back due to a work-related accident and going through physical therapy for it. I am hoping to get back to work this upcoming year if my back will allow it. Besides Spanish and Latin, I've also taken academic courses in Ancient Greek, Hebrew (mostly biblical Hebrew but one course in modern Hebrew) as well as German (in which I also studied in Austria). I've been to 22 countries. In terms of Spanish-speaking countries, I've spent most of my time in Central America specifically, Honduras the longest although I've been throughout. I've only been to Spain once and for not that long; ergo, most of my familiarity is with Latin American Spanish. But anyway... I am mostly focused on trying to help the Spanish and Latin pages, where I notice they are lacking. I have a few books on Spanish regionalisms that I have absolutely love, so I am happy to fill in the gaps for what is missing even for the places I haven't been to. This can be a great resource for people trying to learn Spanish. There is a lot of xenophobia in this country. By having all the centralized meanings of certain words there, we can help put an end to xenophobia in this country by propelling Spanish education. Also, while there are great resources for Latin (Latinitium is my favorite online resource), it's great especially for etymological purposes to have the meanings of Latin words fully fleshed out, so I am happy to contribute there. While I have not taught German in an academic setting, I have taken several courses in it as well as a student as well as spent some time studying abroad in Austria back during my undergrad. So I am happy to contribute there as well.
