Miss Lourdes
Back in 1980, just about as I was catching up with learning Spanish, I started learning my first English vocabulary words. I had always been a city kid, and in downtown Mexico City I encountered my first lessons with Miss Lourdes, a woman who still has some amazing English and Chinese tea secrets that were shared to her by a Scottish woman, then.
She was my first and longest English teacher.... and I believe that she taught me well. She has always looked after me.
And it is funny, 'cause even these days when I'm capable of doing so much more with my thoughts and phrases in other languages, she still corrects me and brings a richer insight to the languages we speak.
These days, Miss Lourdes still teaches, after classes, to Grade School children & adults as well in an Art Decó style building in downtown Mexico City, and whenever possible I try to visit her. She has a plant that is named 'Ruffles' and... the tea is good, man! :-)
She made some flyers months ago, but she isn't such a great designer as she is a teacher, so I volunteered to re-design the flyers with the help of my good friend Alex Palomares' illustration.
So if you have kids, or want to learn for yourself and have fun with this woman who enjoys her work and cares for children a lot, I can get you in touch with her.
Now... I'm thinking in how to improve my French.
