a letter to my first english teachers

Dear teachers Alma, Lana, Sonia, and many others,

I just finished my first play in English — a 90-minute performance where I stood in front of an audience, expressing myself in the language you first began teaching me when I was just 5 years old.

You didn’t just teach me English — you opened up a whole new world of possibilities in the career of my dreams.

"The Dinner Party" by Neil Simon was a production by Blue Book Co. with 4 shows in Teatre Gaudí (Barcelona)

Thank you for teaching me "el verbo to be", and for helping me reach this point — where I now realize that learning and improving my second language is a lifelong journey.

Thank you for your patience and your love throughout every lesson.

And you know what the best part is?

Saying good bye to "La Casette" in our last show. Thanks to all that came to enjoy our work.

We go for MORE!

Your always student,

Teo
