After collecting over 75 Spanish textbooks and workbooks in 25 years of teaching, I found myself facing a tough reality: I wasn’t actually using them. Despite their glossy pages and perfect layouts, they just didn’t meet the needs of my students—or support the kind of teaching I knew made a real difference.

In this heartfelt and behind-the-scenes episode, I’m sharing why I walked away from traditional Spanish textbooks and how that decision led me to create what I now call a "living Spanish curriculum"—an interactive, evolving, student-centered approach to learning that’s built to serve both students and homeschool parents.

You’ll hear:

• The surprising moment a professor told me I was building a “living textbook”
• How I taught myself to create video lessons, flashcards, and culturally rich content—without being tech-savvy
• Real-life examples of how homeschool families bring Spanish learning to life across subjects and at home
• Why it’s okay to let go of the “perfect” curriculum and create something that works for your child

Whether you're a new homeschool parent or have been learning Spanish, this episode will encourage you to think differently about what really works in Spanish education—and remind you that your child doesn’t need perfect resources… they need intentional ones.
