Anything...scandalous?

I have always been a big reader, thanks in large part to my mom's "No TV in the house" rule. [To be clear, yes, we owned a TV, but it was only used for watching movies.]

Books were always a huge form of entertainment, and as a side bonus, they also helped me to build a tremendous vocabulary from early on.

As a language coach, I (and many other teachers) highly encourage reading in your second language because it is the number ONE way to build your vocabulary.

How Much Can Change in a Year

I have changed so much over the past year, both inwardly and outwardly. I can’t wait to live out more of my best bilingual life in 2020.

I feel like I experienced so much of my life, like I was TRULY ME, in the last six months of 2019 that I lived more than I have in the last five years combined, ALL while doing what I love.

Are you living your life, really living it, not just letting it pass by? Do you feel like you get to be fully YOU?

What will your best life look like in 2020?!

¡Escucha! Bang Data and Los Lonely Boys

Español abajo~

A week ago I went to the Los Lonely Boys with Bang Data concert at the Mystic Theatre in Petaluma. I already knew about LLB as they’ve been really popular ever since the 2000s (with their breakout single Heaven) and since one of my best friends is their groupie (Ok, fine, super-fan.), but I’d never been to a concert.
