A New Way to Learn Español

“While these films and actors attempt to portray a “reality” of Spanish speakers and language, many instructors believe the productions illustrate the lack of focus in the language field on Spanish speakers living in the United States. So lecturer Citlali Miranda-Aldaco, joined by Galasso and Ann de Leon, now a fifth-year doctoral student, set out two years ago to create an American-centered audio-visual component to assist Johns Hopkins students who are learning Spanish.

Specifically, they wanted to interview members of the local Hispanic population and let them talk about their experiences here in Baltimore. The result is the cutting-edge video project called Spanish Through the Eyes: An Exploration of Hispanic Language, Life and Culture in Baltimore.”
