🌎 Greetings from Chile and Argentina! Evie Earth snuck into Lisette's suitcase to accompany her on her trip home to South America! 🫣 She enjoyed representing The Hello House from miles away and was so happy to visit Rapa Nui (Easter Island)!

As July comes to a close, we're reflecting on our Tanabata bamboo with its Tanzaku wishes!

Tanabata is also known as Japan's Star Festival. 🌟 The holiday celebrates the annual reunion of two celestial lovers on July 7th who grant wishes written on small slips of paper (tanzaku). This tradition is frequently practiced in Japanese elementary and middle schools.

Here's hoping all your summer wishes come true!!

Our Kids' Spanish Showcase was a wonderful way to wrap up the semester! Our students made animal dioramas and handmade masks as their culminating project this semester. In our Showcase, they confidently presented their projects in Spanish to their families. Thank you, parents, for showing up and supporting your young language learners, and for practicing Spanish with them week after week at home and even in the car. We appreciate you partnering with us to celebrate the joy in learning another language! 🌎

For our 🌟Staff Spotlight🌟 this month, meet Grace! We are so happy to have Grace's kindness and knowledge on our team here at The Hello House.

Learn more about Grace:

Q: In which Hello House programs do you teach?

A: I teach in the kids’ English tutoring program.

Q: What’s your teacher superpower?

A: I love using my creativity to make learning more engaging and enjoyable! Students and I make comic strips, scripts, and original characters as well as play Pictionary and other drawing games. It’s super fun for my students and also for me! :)

Q: What do you wish more people knew about learning a language?

A: Good practice in the target language doesn’t have to mean poring over a textbook for hours, but can look like listening to music/podcasts, journaling, watching TV, doing crosswords, or reading comics! Little, fun bites of practice can go a long way.

Q: What’s your favorite word in another language?

A: ‘Tschüssies!’ (Pronounced ‘choo-seas’) is a cutesy way of saying ‘goodbye’ in German :)

Q: If you could teleport to any country for lunch, where are you going?

A: Definitely Korea for kimbap!

Q: Where is the best place you've ever traveled?

A: Either the Netherlands (for the bikes!) or Colombia (for the food and dancing!)

Q: What’s your favorite emoji?

A: This guy 🕺 He’s useful in almost every scenario.
