Instructor Background
Delilah Ortiz owner of Spanish in Atlanta and the main instructor is originally from Queens New York; her family is from Bogotá Colombia. She learned Spanish first at home and then English in school the hard way. The challenges faced in school while learning English, home environment and musical talents are just some of the many factors that greatly propelled her to become an exceptional language instructor and speaker of 4 languages.
Influential Experiences
At the age of 7, she had her first interpreting job. Her dear mama “Tetiroli” aka ñaña vieja, volunteered her to be her freelance interpreter. It was an experience that helped her gain a remarkable understanding for foreign languages and solve the typical pitfalls people face now when learning a foreign language!
Her dear “Tetiroli” is now in heaven but all the success and great innovative teaching techniques Delilah use are in part inspired by her mama and her papa. She studied French for 13 years and learned Italian mostly on her own. She was immersed in language learning surroundings for 2 decades. In that time, she observed, analyzed and created personal theories as to why others struggled in class.
Reasons Behind Teaching Methodology
Through the years, she developed unique and insightful tips, tricks, and theories as to why a number of students can’t retain or speak the foreign language they are learning. These fresh and unique insights are the foundation for how she conducts all Spanish, Italian and English language training in Spanish in Atlanta. She uses her musical training as an Opera singer and her multiple years of language learning to solve many of the Spanish learning pitfalls students face.
Delilah continues studying other languages like Hindi, Chinese and Arabic. She has a great passion for teaching and is immensely appreciative of all the jewels of knowledge she continues to receive when working Spanish in Atlanta students and for the opportunity to significantly enhance their lives!
Future Plans
We hope to gain the necessary funding from investors in the future to create great foreign language games, apps, more videos and a grand foreign language center never before seen! Constructed so that students learn foreign language naturally and through their environment.
