TWO LANGUAGES. ONE FRIENDSHIP.
How we met 
We met at Camp Chipinaw, a Jewish summer camp in New York. We came from different worlds: John, a New Yorker struggling with Spanish, and Mateo, a Bolivian struggling with English. We each wanted to learn the other’s language. Neither of us knew that we were about to find the person who would help us find our way.
Soon after we met, we started challenging each other every day. We practiced, made mistakes, and counted on each other to catch them. We learned to ask questions, accept corrections, and keep the conversation going, even when we couldn’t find the right words.
When camp ended, we kept showing up for each other. We built a habit and a system around working together: phone calls, daily practice, and honest feedback. We still make time to speak, listen, and help each other improve every day.
When we found each other, we were both lost in the language-learning process. We helped each other find our way. Now we want to help you find yours, drawing on everything we’ve learned together and the experience and expertise we bring in English and Spanish.
