PhD in Spanish Linguistics
For over ten years, I've taught Spanish at university level. My interest in the language isn't only about the words but also the varied sounds from different regions. I've had the chance to teach students from many backgrounds, and I always aim to give them a comprehensive view of Spanish, highlighting its unique features and styles. Alongside teaching, I continuously study Spanish and enjoy sharing the latest findings with my students.
My lessons are more than just studying Spanish; they're about deeply connecting with the language. We listen to various accents, understand regional differences, and practice speaking it correctly. I use interactive tools like games and quizzes to make the learning process fun and engaging. Additionally, I incorporate real-life scenarios and conversations to ensure students are prepared for real-world Spanish interactions. Through all these methods, my ultimate goal is to help students not only speak Spanish but to understand and value its diverse essence truly.
Dr. Davis has a way of making phonetics interesting! Her exercises really helped improve my accent and understanding of the Spanish sounds.
Attending her lectures feels like a deep dive into the ocean of Spanish linguistics. I particularly appreciate the real-world examples and audio clips from different regions. Makes it so much easier to differentiate between dialects.
Lily's passion for Spanish linguistics is clear in every class. She does not talk a lot in class. Just wished there were more interactive sessions.
