  1. Hey, profes! Good to see how the passion for teaching has led you guys to this tech-based proposal.

    Can´t clap any harder, really! It's been 4 years now since I got my B.A. in English, then moved over to UNA for the Master's in Translation, just to decide a year afterwards, that my love for the Letters and Teaching and Business could be combined into a different single subject...

    I'm teaching now motorcycle riding lessons...lol, how about that! Go figure! Ha, ha, ha! This way, I'm teaching, I'm writing the best and most professional commercial texts (proof of this is the guys who copied like 80% of one of my adds!) and I'm trying to carry out a biz of my own.

    Cheers and keep it up,

    Rodrigo Montero
    (maybe, just maybe, Patricia Andrés will remember me from the Translation Minor's courses)

    P.D: you´re most welcome to visit my blog www.motodesdecero.blogspot.com

    I might, in the future, translate some of my topics in Spanish to English, just to spread out a bit more of the bike passion. Keep an eye open!
