Around the Latin World in 58 Days – Spanish Camp
About the Teacher
Fanny Brousard. I love to teach my native language, and as a second language learner myself, I have had the opportunity to value the richness of knowing a new language; be a facilitator in this fantastic journey of teaching my “chicos & jovenes” during more than 6 years is a way of making a significant contribution to nurture, and maintain an environment of growth and challenge for everyone; see my participants follow in love within, and develop their Spanish knowledge and skills is my greatest satisfaction.
I maintained a great desire to teach since my first couple of years at the University from where I have a BS in Human Resources (1994), after years of experience in Organizational Development, I began a New Professional and Personal Journey, also into the learning process. I moved from my homeland VENEZUELA to The United States, obtained my Teacher Certification in Bilingual Early Childhood (2006), and as Secondary Spanish Teacher (2011). Throughout this time I started as a classroom Bilingual Teacher, it was a natural fit, what I love the most is the variety and the ability to use one’s creative process to teach participants on all levels.
My biggest desire is having our participants making rapid progress, building their SPANISH fluency and understanding with every session. I encourage “chicos & jovenes” of all levels to be part of it! Whether you know two words in Spanish or have studied for years, I am sure you will enjoy “Around The Latin World in 58 Days”… I look forward to meeting you!
I am deeply grateful for this great opportunity and all the support I have received from the YPW FAMILY, in their Spanish Summer Camp and Weekend Classes.
Some of the things the campers learned while in camp
This week we took a tour to Colombia, exploring the rich culture and geography of the country. Ask your child about the Arroz Con Coco (Coconut Rice) we made-and ate-, a delicacy in Colombia, or about the baking soda volcano that the kids made which introduced science and the mountains in the country. We also made soccer balls and learned more about the national sport of Colombia. We are all excited to learn more and hope you are too!
