This interview is with Shelley Flenniken from Baltimore, Maryland.
Shelley previously attended ECELA’s school with Buenos Aires, Argentina and we hear from her in this interview during her time studying Spanish in Lima, Peru.
She has a spunky approach to language learning, especially coming from learning Spanish in frustration, and Shelley will make you smile while you visualize Lima and all it has to offer.
