The characters you connect with, the endings you remember, the messages that stay with you—these are reflections of your inner world.
When you talk about stories, you’re really talking about yourself. And when you do it in Spanish, you’re not just practicing a language—you’re sharing your essence in another voice.
Speak about what moves you. Because the stories you love… are part of your story, too.”
