¡Hola hola! Some happy news to share! 🥰

This summer has been busier than expected in the good way! Last Friday I passed my Seated Dance Instructor training with Dancing for Health CIC, an award winning company that uses the power of dance to support people living with long-term health conditions, illness, disability, reduced mobility, and our older community.

If you've followed me for a while, you will know how much I love teaching Spanish and ZUMBA®, and this feels like a natural next step for me for reasons that hit on a personal level. Seated dance is joyful, inclusive exercise set to uplifting music. It's designed to be done from a chair, but can absolutely be done standing too. Everyone deserves to move, have fun, and feel good in a safe, welcoming space. Whether you're in a care home, recovering from treatment, managing a condition, or you just want to move to great music in a safe and friendly way, this is for everyone!

I will be adding this alongside my Spanish and ZUMBA® classes. I'm currently building up my routines and practising hard so I can bring you full classes very soon. As always, I'll keep you posted here once I've secured a venue and have dates to share.

And if you know of a venue, care home, charity, or community group (in Sheffield or nearby) that might love some seated dance, please get in touch or put us in contact, I would be so grateful! 💜

Huge thanks to Tracey and the team at Dancing for Health CIC for such brilliant training, and for creating something so beautiful and fun to help others improve their physical and mental wellbeing! I’m very excited for this new chapter!

¡Hola! Something happened I wasn’t expecting! I recently started uploading gameplays of games that have the option of Spanish from Spain, so I could teach you more Spanish through a different medium.

One of the demos I played was Monster Alchemy, and they reached out to me giving me access to play the Early Access which is coming out the 10th of September! This is not sponsored, but as the team very generously gave me the opportunity to play the game before launch, I can’t thank them enough so giving you gameplays will be my way of thanking them! 💜 I hope you enjoy it!

PDF with each episode’s vocabulary on the comments in YouTube, and each episode is linked to La Taberna del Reino on my website with flash cards to practice and a challenge! 🥰

Is the app good or bad? I don’t know and honestly I don’t even want to know. This is my first impression of this app, and if this is how they spend their advertising money… I don’t expect much from it. A needed rant in this heat 😅

⚔️ Big update in the AVA Spanish Platform! ⚔️

Three new things have arrived in the Kingdom… 🏰

1. Las Torres del Reino (The Towers of the Kingdom). A brand-new challenge! Answer one Spanish question per floor and climb as high as you can, against the clock. Beat the bosses, earn XP & Gold, and top the leaderboard. And for the truly brave… La Torre Maldita 💀 (The Cursed Tower). One heart, a faster clock, harder questions. One mistake and it’s over. ¿Te atreves?

I’ve currently added a total of 205 questions divided in easy, easy-medium, medium, medium-hard and hard levels, the higher you climb the harder the questions.

I planned this feature in purpose to be stressful, my other features you can take as long as you want to answer, but with Las Torres, I want you to feel the moment of adrenaline and rush as if you were having a real conversation with someone and you only had a few seconds to think what to answer. My idea is for you to learn through repetition but also to have plenty of questions that each run feels different. And fear not, I will keep adding new questions 😈

2. New achievements!🏅I added 28 in total. You will have to climb milestones, boss feats, no-damage runs, be brave enough to enter La Torre Maldita, and even a few secret ones hidden for you to discover. Can you unlock them all? 👀

3. A redesigned map 🗺️ The Mapa del Reino was getting a little crowded, so I’ve rebuilt it into clear themed regions to make the Kingdom easier to explore. Still plenty more to come!

Every climb, every badge, every step sharpens your Spanish without it ever feeling like studying. The platform keeps growing, and it’s free for everyone 💜

If you have any questions or enquiries please let me know!

¡Muchas gracias!
