Today we talked about adoption and practiced asking and answering questions naturally. We reviewed the passive voice and started to study the reflexive passive voice. Then we read a couple pages of "Robinson Crusoe." Gracias Miranda! Nos vemos jueves!

Miranda is an excellent profesora. She is well educated in educational theory and actively engages you in the best way to improve your language. She is the best instructor you will find on italki.

Miranda is lovely. I felt so comfortable speaking with her. Her class had the perfect amount of challenge for me. And it was fun! I look forward to more classes with her.

Miranda was excellent at helping me determine my level for the ACTFL. She helped me point out my weak spots and gave me great advice. I look forward to meeting with her again.
