One Bad Apple I was always fortunate enough to have teachers that cared about teaching. But, there was one case where I had a teacher who ate their lunch during class.

The Day I Learned Fluent Spanish
I moved to Barcelona in 2006, after an entire year of studying Spanish. I had taken my studies very seriously. For the last couple of months, I’d been listening to music, watching movies in Spanish with subtitles, reading magazines and books in my target language.
