The annual Wisconsin State Spanish Pronunciation Contest Championships is becoming a tradition in South Milwaukee. For those not familiar, it’s a contest where students study a fragment of text—this year and last year, it was a poem fragment—and practice pronouncing it exactly correctly.

Today on the podcast, we will hear from four students who participated and got a first- or second-place medal for mastering the poem. Then we’ll hear from Cheryl Caruso on three decades of teaching a global language – Spanish – and how, during her career, language education is taught and how students are different today than before.
