Living in Texas, Senora Gose finds that it is not a difficult task to find opportunities to keep increasing Spanish vocabulary and practicing to stay up-to-date on the local slang, idioms, or simply invented “Texican”—or “Tex-Mex”—words for our region.

Senora Gose encourages students to “use it or lose it”—practice your Spanish words every opportunity you have in order to train your brain to accept new vocabulary and grammar rules with ease.
