Hello everyone! A birthday post. I don't tend to write many others through the year. I was born on a day like today, and thanks to my parents I am here — and that is something I want to celebrate with the readers of this blog too. My joy is in enjoying this day and in sharing what I know with everyone.
I would also like to thank everyone for the recognition that reaches me, from Germany to Argentina. It is very rewarding to know there are teachers of Catalan out there teaching thanks to this blog.
I want to mention two of my current students: Elena, a doctor born in Jaén, who has passed the second stage of her medical civil-service exams — one of the steps being the C1 Catalan exam — and a secondary-school student who says that since meeting me she wants to become a teacher herself. Both very appreciative, both big-hearted. It is a gift to find students like them.
A hug to you all!
