About Me

Benjamin Thomas Kohler: Fargo, North Dakota, United States; 26 years old, and still got soul, baby. I graduated from St. John's University in MN in 2006 with degrees in English and Spanish. I love reading, writing, art, culture, and speaking Spanish. I am an English teacher currently living in Logroño, La Rioja, España.

About This Blog

Have you ever wanted to experience another culture firsthand? Have you ever wanted to teach them about your own?

I just moved in with some Spanish flatmates, and we share an apartment in the center of the city together. I work at a local language school teaching English, and I also teach private English classes.

This blog is about my experience. It's about the mixing of two distinct cultures and the possibility of mutual understanding and collaboration. Most of all, I think this project is about education and enthusiasm about people, places, and things that are different from our own. Read and be inspired.

This blog also makes me think that it can be a tool for others who have interest in the Language & Culture program. I will attempt to outline what I know about the La Rioja branch that I am a part of, and also about the program in general. I'd love to answer any questions you might have. Thanks for reading.
