Reflection Question 🌱
¿Qué tan cómodo/a te sientes compartiendo tus opiniones en español? ¿Y qué crees que podrías descubrir de ti mismo/a al hacerlo con más libertad?
How comfortable do you feel sharing your opinions in Spanish? And what do you think you might discover about yourself by doing it more freely?
Consider writing down your thoughts in Spanish to warm up for the event!💡
Beyond Language ✨
"Every opinion is an invitation—to listen, to express, to connect.
When you speak your truth with respect, you create space for others to do the same. And in that space, learning happens—not just about grammar or vocabulary, but about each other.
To share your thoughts in Spanish is to say: ‘I trust my voice’.
So speak—kindly, clearly, bravely. You’re not just practicing language. You’re practicing freedom.”
