The fall semester is officially in full swing. Anyone missing summer break?

This week in the STU:

  • Around the web: Día de los Muertos, free Spanish classes, and some research
  • Quickly share a pronunciation activity with students that are struggling to develop a Spanish accent.
  • From reddit with love: a resource for your next trip to Mexico City

Around the Web


Spanish teachers are creating lots of fun content for day of the dead. These are a few of our favorites: Digital Altar, Infographic, Video, and Spooky Video.

A school in Peekskill, NY is offering free Spanish courses to student's parents.

Cambridge University has a study exploring how long it takes to learn a second language. Long story short, it’s more complicated than simply studying for 600 hours.

Going to Mexico City?

We’ve been working from Mexico City for over a month now and are always looking for new things to explore. In searching for interesting places to visit we stumbled across one adventurous redditor’s guide to the city. If you’re planning a trip to Mexico City in the near future, it’s a great read/skim for ideas.
