¡Bienvenidos a mi página!.
Hola, my name is Señor Bell and I am a Spanish teacher from Saratoga Springs, New York. I am a medical interpreter and translator and I have taught Spanish in high school, and ESOL classes for adults throughout my 9 years of teaching experience! I love what I do and I hope you can find this website useful!

"Students will learn to facilitate conversation and implement a variety of vocabulary words in different contexts, integrate and synthesize prior knowledge, demonstrate a cultural awareness of the Spanish-speaking world and its rich and diverse cultures, and acquire a new perspective on different global themes such as: global challenges, science and technology, contemporary life, personal and public identities, families and communities, and beauty and aesthetics."
