Fernando Alluime was born in Uruguay in 1994, and he lived in the Capital City (Montevideo) for 8 years. In 2003, he and his family moved to Barcelona (Spain), and settled there until he finished High School. Since then, he has been in China, and a big part of his experience in Asia includes teaching Spanish to young and adult learners. He believes the education sector is the most important part of a country's and its people's development, and using his wide experience and knowledge of his mother language could contribute a little to that improvement. He is a very enthusiastic teacher, he loves teaching and communicating with students, and seeing them going to another level is what gives him motivation to put more time and energy on their learning.

Students will learn how to formulate sentences and dialogues through listening, speaking, reading and writing. Cultural activities will accompany language lessons to acquaint students with food, artistic expression, and diversity of the Spanish-speaking world.

Introduce yourself to others; exchange personal information; ask and answer questions; express likes and dislikes; gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of the cultures of the Spanish-speaking world; develop new insights into the nature of language and culture that will allow you to establish comparisons not only between Spanish and Chinese, but also between Hispanic cultures and Chinese culture.
