From Study Abroad Student to Entrepreneur (Interview with Latasha Moore, Tasha Teaches Spanish) ♫ 110 Feb 09, 2021

Show notes

Latasha Moore went from waiting anxiously to finding out if she qualified for a study abroad program to applying for her first bilingual job, and finally starting her own business.

In our conversation, we talk about:

What qualifications you really need to work abroad (*spoiler alert: you DON'T need to pass any difficult exams to do it)
How cultural immersion helped her grow in her ability to speak Spanish
How she maintained her Spanish proficiency after returning to the United States after living and working abroad
The benefits of learning Spanish from a non-native speaker

Tasha obtained a BA in Spanish from Arkansas State University. After graduation she lived in Spain where she worked as an English teacher assistant. Upon returning to the US, she worked a series of jobs that involved using the Spanish language. She most recently worked as the Health Program Coordinator for El Zócalo Immigrant Resource Center and the Little Rock Mexican Consulate.

Her company Tasha Teaches Spanish is a Spanish education service that makes up for where school systems fall short. We believe that a child shouldn’t have to wait until junior high to begin learning a foreign language.

The Secret to Unlock Your Spanish Listening Skills (Interview with Daniel Raynaud, Jiveworld) ♫ 109 Feb 02, 2021

Show notes

In 2016, Daniel packed up everything to move from the San Francisco Bay Area to Medellín, Colombia. He soon found that having conversations with the locals in Spanish beyond basic interactions was a challenge.

Drawing up his experience with language learning and the tech world, he began to experiment with the idea of creating a solution for intermediate Spanish learners to help them break through the plateau of just having basic conversations to really achieve fluency.

The result of that quest is Lupa, an innovate app that provides ear training to help you get to the advanced level of listening comprehension. We talk about how he founded his company Jiveworld, the lessons he learned from over 30 years of learning languages, and how he connected with the team at Radio Ambulante to develop the Lupa app.

Kayla also shares the true cost of living on the island from clothes to technology, and why a 'colmado' is a lifesaver.
