Spanish With Mariel
"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart." -Nelson Mandela
How We Learn
Human cognition is an amazing thing. We learn with our senses, through the lens of our experiences, employing the intricate wiring of our brains and bodies. Learning is a science and an art. See the syllabi page to discover the research and the resources that I use to help you attain and retain new information.
Why We Learn
Learning has always been the most critical skill for human survival. Now, communication has become yet more constant than ever before. Globalization does not limit itself to economy or politics, but is present in daily interactions close to home. See the beginning Spanish page to learn why language-learning is necessary.
What We Learn
By 2050, the US may have more Spanish speakers than any other country in the world. The result will be a more diverse and competitive workplace and academic environment. Spanish language proficiency will be increasingly beneficial and ultimately necessary in some fields.
