Making Learning Fun: My Experience with a Great Spanish Teacher

The transcript describes a memorable Spanish teacher, Jim Canavan, who transformed the speaker's attitude towards learning Spanish.

The class was diverse, with students from different backgrounds, including a classmate from Cuba whose son is Jim Acosta. The teacher encouraged students to learn at home to enhance their discussions. Over two years, this method helped the speaker think in Spanish, highlighting the effectiveness of making learning enjoyable.
