    Gratitudinous: Episode 15—Elena Andrés [Teaching enlightens more than learning]

    **Please note: This episode is in Spanish** In this gratitudeo, I express my gratitude to Elena Andrés. Elena is a friend and former colleague, and she nurtured my passion for Spanish. During lunchtime, we’d meet in the cafeteria and she would patiently practice with me, something that must have been painful for her to endure. Always patient, she tolerated all of my blurbs and hiccups and mistakes…something I hope you will, too, as this episode is in Spanish (with English subtitles).
