I am a fan of letters (obviously) and love this open letter format. Thank you for this sweet and sentimental reminder of the power of language and gratitude I have for the teachers who have impacted me along my journey.

You’re lucky — I didn’t learn anything from my high school Spanish teachers. Instead, I’m forever indebted to the Spanish-speaking immigrant cooks who worked with me in kitchens through high school and college. Actually, I did learn one thing from my freshman Spanish teacher. We probably spent half a semester reciting the lyrics to Rayando el Sol by Maná. It remains my go-to for karaoke nights in Mexico.
If you and Anya are ever in Oaxaca, hit me up. And glad to hear that you and Michael will soon get to hang out.
I recently emailed my Latin teacher who had a similar impact on my intellectual development. Reaching out to old teachers is underrated.
