Hello! My name is Roderick, I’m a native Spanish speaker from the Dominican Republic, currently living in Suffolk County, Long Island. I moved to the US in the Summer of 2016 without knowing a word in English besides “Hello” and “Thank you” and by the beginning of the spring of 2017 I was already fluent in this new language. I would like to share my “cheat codes” of learning a new language in a fun and understandable way. This is doable at any age or level of knowledge that you have, as long as you’re willing to shift your perspective on how to learn this new language. I will be waiting for you. It will be a fun experience!!
