Sitting in Ms. Ram’s Spanish class, students diligently concentrate on mastering verb forms and vocabulary words. Her love of the language is evident as she gesticulates while teaching. “Sólo hablarás en español,” she tells her students. While this is the second trimester of the year for them, this is Ms. Ram’s first. She was voyaging through Europe this fall as we navigated the new schedule.
