¡Hola y gracias por ver mi perfil! Me llamo Lauren, y soy de Nueva Jersey de Los Estados Unidos. Empecé a aprender español cuando tenía 12 años, ya hace 21 años, porque quería aprender la lengua de mis abuelos puertorriqueños. Ahora soy maestra de español en una escuela pública, enseñando nivel básico a los séptimo y octavo grados. También ayudo a mis amigos a conversar en español. Aunque sigo aprendiendo más español cada día, los últimos dos años me haya dedicado a aprender la lengua y cultura japonesa. Es por eso que estoy aquí en Edufire; me encanta aprender con los maestros fantásticos y también con los estudiantes simpáticos. ¡Si ud. quiere, vamos a hablar español juntos!

Hello, my name is Lauren, and I am from New Jersey, USA. I am a full time middle school Spanish teacher and a part-time College Financial Aid consultant. Two years ago I discovered the beauty of learning Japanese language and culture through Anime and music. I especially love J-HipHop/Rap; check out my music profile at Last FM through the link below. Hope to see you in class!

一緒にがんばりましょう！
