I'm Joshua Cabral, world language teacher, workshop presenter, author, and instructional coach with three decades of classroom experience.

Whether you teach Spanish, French, German, Latin, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, ASL, ESL/EFL, or any other language, you'll find classroom-tested ideas designed to make planning easier and student learning more effective. If you're searching for a world language teaching podcast, a Spanish teacher podcast, a French teacher podcast, language acquisition strategies, ACTFL resources, proficiency-based instruction tips, communicative language teaching ideas, classroom activities for language teachers, or professional development for world language educators, you've found your community.
