Lisa Renea Shaw
Founder and Chief Language Specialist, My Other Tongue
It surprises people that I reached native-like fluency in Spanish without growing up in a Spanish-speaking household. I am a trilingual educator with 20+ years of teaching experience, and I built My Other Tongue so the care you already bring to your team can be shared, clearly and warmly, in the words you build together.
Start free today. When you are ready, the full course walks you through all six steps of EQUIPO, one respectful move at a time.
