Can you really teach foreign language without knowing the language? Is it possible to teach a foreign language without a curriculum? The answer to both questions is yes. Join Jeannie as she interviews Suzanne Gose, the creator of Flip Flop Spanish (and soon German), who will share how you can easily—very easily—incorporate foreign language into your daily life. She'll share step by step instructions that will help you get off and running today! Look in the show notes for links to her favorite translation tool, and where you can take a peek at Suzanne's Charlotte Mason styled curriculum.
About Suzanne
Suzanne is a certified Texas Public School teacher who thrived on teaching in the public school system before she began her family. Suzanne stayed home with her firstborn, and missed teaching so much that she reached out to her local community to tutor or host a small Spanish class. After that initial email, Suzanne received 42 replies the very next morning! So for 19 years now, Suzanne has been teaching Spanish and public speaking to homeschool students weekly in a classroom setting, most recently at the Community Homeschool Center in Bryan, Texas.
She is a happily married mother of five children, small business owner, as well as a founder and board member of the Community Homeschool Center. Suzanne and her family love living on their small 15 acre farm in Central Texas with their goats, chickens, turkeys, ducks, and rabbits. She thoroughly enjoys teaching weekly Spanish classes, supporting homeschool endeavors of the community in any way possible, and striving to keep a happy, well-organized home.
