Ivonne

Having Mexican roots but not having been exposed to the country and culture’s history and development, I have often felt left out in conversations and somewhat disconnected from my Mexican family and friends. Ivonne is helping me bridge that nuanced gap with far deeper insight than I’ve ever pursued, all while discovering the bits of grammar and vocabulary I’ve been missing. Fascinating conversation today on the topic of International Women’s Day, its marches, its purpose and musings on the varying degrees of the woman experience worldwide ❤️ Thank you with all my heart!

El profesor fue paciente y fue a un buen ritmo.

We unpacked all sorts of frequently used sayings, helping me unlock a little more of the Mexican world ♥️

I had a great lesson with Ivonne. She's very interesting, and easy to chat with and understand. The audio quality was good. Fun conversation, I look forward to the next lesson. Until next week!

She adapted to my needs and level of spanish. I would encourage anyone who is ready to start speaking more fluently to take lessons with her!

Discussions on the film “Familia” (2023) directed by Rodrigo Garcia, Frida Kahlo and the complex perspectives on the way she loved her life, code-switching and the natural blending of related languages such as Italian and Spanish, varying behaviors around milestone celebrations, and the challenges and beauty of sibling dynamics.
