¡Feliz comienzo de curso!
Hola a todos desde España,
Mi nombre es Astrid Martín, y soy profesora de inglés.
A mí también me gustan mucho los idiomas y conocer gente de distintos países, como a vuestra profesora, Janette. ¿Pensáis que somos un poco raras? Ja, ja.
Aunque mi nombre es sueco, nací en España y desde pequeña sentí una gran atracción por el mundo anglosajón, así que cuando tenía quince años, me fui por primera vez a Irlanda para practicar mi inglés. Quedé fascinada por la experiencia y repetí durante muchos años. Así que mi hobby se convirtió en mi profesión.
Además me encanta la naturaleza, practicar yoga, nadar, la música, charlar y reír con mis amigos, y por supuesto, estar con mi familia, a la de adoro.
Estoy encantada de poder continuar esta actividad entre nuestros países con vuestra profesora y espero que sea provechosa y divertida.
¡Hasta pronto!

Hi Everyone and Welcome to our blog!
I'm Janette Araya and I've been a Spanish teacher for over 20 years! I love the Spanish language and all of the cultures in which it is spoken. Yeah, I know, I'm kinda nerdy that way. You may wonder if I am Hispanic since my last name is of Spanish origin. Well, the answer is no. I was born in Pennsylvania and there was no one who spoke Spanish where I lived, except for the Spanish teachers at school. But, I studied in Valencia, Spain while in college and I love to speak Spanish. So, where did I get the last name Araya? - from my husband, who is from Paraguay, South America. Maybe someday I'll tell you how we met. It's an interesting story.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, crocheting and walking with my dog, Schatze. This summer, I began to try my hand at furniture refinishing. I think I'm going to enjoy that hobby, as well. I find it very relaxing - even when something goes wrong. I enjoy traveling and meeting new people. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you this year and learning lots of new things.
