We recently connected with Portia Ruth and have shared our conversation below.
Portia, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today To kick things off, we’d love to hear about things you or your brand do that diverge from the industry standard.
I offer my Spanish classes on Zoom and in small groups to keep my classes interactive, affordable, and accessible for everyone – especially those who may not have the opportunity for language learning. The future is multi-lingual!
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
I’ve had a passion for Spanish since I was 12 years old. I would find Spanish songs, learn the lyrics, and tape my favorite lyrics on my bedroom ceiling. I studied Spanish in school all the way up to undergrad and minored in Spanish while majoring in Occupational Therapy. I studied abroad in Salamanca, Spain and then lived in Madrid, Spain for 2 years. Not only did I love the language, I really love their culture and lifestyle!
Now that I’m back stateside, my mission is to share the skill of Spanish speaking with all!
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
In 2020, I think a lot of us had to pivot! And this is what helped me realize that Spanish learning can be done virtually. So I created a website through Wix and Practicamos with Poe was slowly born!
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My goal is to provide language learning for those who may not have an opportunity otherwise. And to keep language learning affordable and accesible.
