About the Spanish Zone

The Spanish Zone was launched in June 2008 as a blog aimed at students, teachers, and enthusiasts of the Spanish language and global Hispanic culture. I modeled it very closely after my French blog, The French Corner, which I started in 2003. I am a fluent speaker of Spanish, but I am not yet a certified teacher. I did not include everything on this site, because it would be almost impossible to teach all the Spanish one can learn in the span of about 5 years on this site. In addition, it is hard to pick certain topics and leave some out. The topics I have chosen to include on this site are not necessarily all the most important, but the ones that are the easiest for me to condense, and those I am especially strong in. I am always expanding! I have provided you with some other great learning tools to check out, if you want to learn more about something and don't see a section on it here. I think you will find this site especially useful for learning vocabulary and all there is to know about verb conjugations and tenses, essential vocab, and parts of speech.

About the Webmaster
My name is Samantha, and I am the webmaster. I am a college student and I speak Spanish fluently and have had some experience teaching and tutoring languages to various ages. I am not certified, but I am studying to become a high school French and/or Spanish teacher. I have never lived in a Spanish speaking country, but I am planning a trip to Europe and Spain will be on the itinerary!

If you have written a piece you think would be relevant to the Spanish Zone (about Spanish language or culture) or would like to write something specifically for the blog, please contact me about contributing! The point of a blog is to share information, and I would love to have more voices here! People that have contributed to my blogs in the past have added a great flavor to them!

This site looks best in Firefox a 1024x768 resolution or better. If your resolution is currently set smaller, you may want to readjust it to achieve the best viewing experience.
