A LITTLE HISTORY ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE WITH SPANISH
When I was a year old, my family made its first of many trips to Baja California, Mexico. Before long, I was in love with the country and its people who spoke a language I didn't understand but who were nonetheless very friendly. After several years of studying Spanish in middle school, high school, and college, I was fortunate enough to serve a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Madrid, Spain, where I learned to love another culture and to master my Spanish.

Some years later, I moved to New York City where my family and I were asked to serve among the Spanish-speaking congregants of our church, most of whom were from the Dominican Republic. And now, in Saint Simons Island, I am blessed again to keep using my Spanish by teaching your children this language which is as much a part of me as English.

I plan to update this blog after classes on each Tuesday and Thursday, so please feel free to check back often. If you have any concerns or any questions, I can be reached at xmatthewday@gmail.com or feel free to leave comments on this blog.

Thank you all for your support and your wonderful children!
