The Hemingway Spanish as a Foreign Language teacher training course: an entirely worthwhile effort

A few days ago, I completed the correspondence version of the Spanish as a Foreign Language teacher training course, and I would like to share my experience on this blog. During my time learning English in the UK, I had a great experience with language teaching.
