So much fun leading a workshop with engaged, excited and insightful language teachers in Arizona today. We were even treated to Mariachi music by the students from a local school. Thanks to AZLA (Arizons Language Association) for your invitation and hospitality.

A snow storm here today in Massachusetts (and cancelled school). At the end of the week I'll be in Phoenix leading a workshop with the Arizona Language Association. A week of contrasts for sure.
