BECOMING BILINGUAL: The Art of Speaking Spanish28 Aug

35-What Do Beans Have to Do With Learning Spanish?

What does learning Spanish have to do with cooking and eating beans? More than you might think!

In this episode, I share a fun conversation with my Spanish teaching team about the different ways we eat frijoles across Latin America—and how it reminded me that there isn't just one way to learn Spanish.

In this episode:

How frijoles volteados, parados, colados, and aplastados inspired this episode
Why there isn't one “right” way to learn Spanish
Why getting started matters more than being perfect
How just 15 minutes of consistent practice can make a difference
Why learning Spanish is a long-term investment in your child
