A Little Bit About Myself

I am Joel Zárate, and I am the host and producer of this podcast. I was born in Mexico, but I moved to California after finishing High School many years ago. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Spanish, and I have two master’s degrees: a master’s degree in Spanish and a master’s degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages from the California State University, Sonoma Campus. In both graduate degrees, I directed my studies to Second Language Acquisition, and I have taught English and Spanish to many students. I speak Spanish, English, French, Italian and Portuguese, and I am learning how to say a few things in other languages like Japanese, German, Chinese, Russian and Other Languages. I love learning languages, and I love teaching languages, and I hope that with this podcast, I can contribute to your journey to learn Spanish, improve your Spanish and reach your goal to speak Spanish.
