Korean Podcast | Coming Home After 2.5 Years

Te escribo desde Els Bacus, la casa dónde desde hace 6 días estamos realizando y disfrutando de la Inmersión Lingüística Otoño-2021. El tiempo vuela y parece que fuera ayer mismo cuando a uno por uno iba recibiendo a mis estudiantes detrás de sus sonrisas. La casa, el lugar, las vistas, las rutas, las actividades, la comida, todo ha sido notable; pero por encima de todo, quedan las personas y he sido bendecido por hospedar a este grupo heterogéneo pero enormemente sensible.
