I’m a Spanish teacher and a Latina mama… but here’s the truth: I don’t speak French. Yet my daughter has been learning it for almost six years—and thriving.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Can my child really learn Spanish if I don’t speak it?” this episode is for you.

In this conversation, I share:

  • Why your child can absolutely learn a language you don’t speak
  • The mindset shift every parent needs about language learning as an investment, not a waste
  • Inspiring examples (from my daughter to celebrities like Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Serena Williams)
  • How language learning builds independence, resilience, and problem-solving skills
  • Practical strategies to support your child—even if you’re “out of the loop”

💡 Remember: you don’t need to speak Spanish to give your child the gift of bilingualism. What matters most is your commitment to provide the right tools, opportunities, and encouragement.

🎉 Plus, stick around to the end—I share a special announcement about my brand-new Becoming Bilingual newsletter, a short and motivating resource packed with stories, culture, and tips to keep your family inspired.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
