How Has Spanish Played a Role in Your Personal and Professional Life? |
My first language is Spanish and I became bilingual when I migrated to the US 15 years ago. I have translated for family members and at previous jobs. I am now a Spanish teacher in high school and encourage students to maintain the usage of Spanish which will benefit them professionally and personally.
