Hello and welcome to season two of Simple Stories in English.

In this season, I will be telling you more about myself to help you be able to talk more about yourself.

In this first episode, I will answer the question, Who am I? Who am I?

My name is Camilla Given,

and I am a Spanish teacher in a small town.

I am a woman.

I am 42 years old.

I don't think I'm old,

but I don't think I'm young either.

My birthday is March 22nd.

I live in the state of Colorado in the United States.

I live in Colorado, but I am not from Colorado.

I'm from the state of Minnesota.

My parents and some siblings live in Minnesota.

I like to visit Minnesota,

but I prefer living in Colorado.

I have a lot of friends in Colorado,

and I like the mountains here.

I live in a small town in western Colorado.

I like living in a small town.

I don't like living in a big city.

I like visiting cities, but I don't want to live in a city.

I prefer small towns because they are quiet.

I also prefer small towns because I know a lot of people.

When I go to a restaurant,

store, or the post office,

I see friends or past students.

I am a high school teacher and a college professor in a small town.

There are around 500 students total in the high school.

So it is not a super small school,

but it is not a big school.

I like being a teacher in a small school.

I don't like big schools because it is difficult to have good relationships with all the students and other teachers.

I prefer small schools because I recognize practically all the students.

I also have the opportunity to teach my students for more than one year.

I have had some students for four years.

My students call me profe.

I have taught Spanish for 22 years.

In that time, I have taught Spanish 1,

2, 3, and 4, Spanish for Spanish speakers,

and college classes of conversation, grammar, and composition.

In addition to Spanish, I have taught theater,

physical education, and newcomer English.

I originally wanted to be a math teacher.

I like math.

But when I had the opportunity to teach math, I didn't like it.

Math was easy for me and I didn't know how to teach it.

So I decided to teach something that I had to learn,

something that wasn't easy for me.

I decided to teach Spanish.

I am a Spanish teacher,

but I am also a Spanish student.

I am not a native speaker of Spanish.

I began to study the Spanish language in school when I was 14.

I studied for four years in high school and for four years in college.

During college, I spent a semester in Spain at the University of Pamplona.

In my education, I learned from teachers and professors from the United States,

Puerto Rico, Mexico, Spain, Chile,

Costa Rica, Peru, and Paraguay.

I have degrees in Spanish education and theater arts from Concordia College in Moorhead,

Minnesota, and I have my master's in Spanish education from the University of Nebraska at Kearney.

I keep studying Spanish.

I read in Spanish.

I watch programs like movies and Spanish soap operas in Spanish.

I listen to podcasts in Spanish.

I practice Spanish with friends.

I listen to Latin music.

I like Spanish a lot.

I like the language and I like the culture.

Spanish is a part of who I am.

In addition to being a teacher and student, I am an author.

I like to write stories.

I write stories for my classes and for my podcasts.

I think that it is good to learn a language with stories.

I publish my stories on my blog, smalltownspanishteacher.com and on Amazon.

I have six books in Spanish,

five in English, three in German, and one in French.

My first published book is called La Tutora de Español,

or The Spanish Tutor.

It is a little advanced.

I have a series of more basic books called I Am Jake,

Jake Celebrates, Jake Explores, and Jake Travels.

For the Jake books, I am an author and illustrator.

My illustrations are very basic because I am not an artist.

I do not have a talent for drawing.

Sometimes I am an actress.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।

☕ हमें एक कॉफी पिलाएं

आपके समर्थन के कारण ShadowingEnglish 100% मुफ्त है। सर्वर और AI की लागत अधिक है — आपकी कॉफी हमें आगे बढ़ने में मदद करती है! 🙏
