A little bit about the author
While I did briefly teach English as a second language, I’m not a professional language teacher or academic. I am a mom and a corporate exec who works with people from all over the world, and I’ve studied several languages myself. I developed this approach of combining stories with bilingual formatting especially for people like me who study language for enjoyment. I hope you find it similarly practical and easy!
