PATRI CERDÁ
Spanish Teacher
Degree in Translation and Interpreting
Master in Governance and Human Rights
“I have always liked learning other languages, not only because I am interested in the languages themselves and their grammatical peculiarities, but because it seems to me that it opens the doors to meeting people from different contexts and cultures, and this is something that I value a lot. As a Spanish teacher, the same thing happens to me, because, in the class, the exchange is bidirectional. I love being able to be in contact every day with people of other nationalities and help them feel more comfortable with a language and in a country that is not their own. In my classes I take into account the specific needs of each student so that they can learn Spanish in the easiest way for them. Do you dare to try?”

“Teaching Spanish is not just teaching a language; it’s about continuing to develop a student’s personality through a language so rich that it can create a new universe, one they were not aware of before. Learning Spanish invites one to think anew, to rediscover oneself, and to experience the world as if it were the very first day in it. It is shaping the mind in a thousand different ways. The best part of accompanying my students on this journey is what they teach me. If I lose my way, they always find me. Their enthusiasm, dedication, and kindness are the proof of the profession my heart practices.”
