I’m a simple rural Saskatchewan (province in Canada’s interior - I know it’s a mouthfull) farm wife who is learning Spanish for travel and connection. My husband and I like to spend a good portion of our winters in Nicaragua and want to extend that to other Central and South American countries, and perhaps even Spain one day :). I’ve been learning primarily through consuming Spanish media and my geographical location makes it difficult to find opportunities to practice speaking or interacting with native speakers. This community and the instructors are an invaluable resource to help bridge the comprehension vs speaking gap! Shout-out to a member of the Dreaming Spanish subreddit who suggested it, joining was a very easy decision :)
