From the moment we are born, we begin to interpret the world around us, striving to understand our surroundings.
Learning a new language means seeing everything with new eyes. Language is a way through us, it shapes and defines us. We build the world through communication.
We learn with all our senses, we learn in interaction, we learn by doing, individually and collectively.
And above all, we learn much better when we enjoy it
Ríoele is an unconventional learning space that invites us to learn foreign languages through experience, to put into practice what we know in order to discover what is new.
The kind of memory created by what is taught is very different from the kind of memory created by what is celebrated.
Rioele invites you to celebrate language learning with all your senses.
I was born and raised in Olivos, a neighbourhood in the northern part of Buenos Aires. I studied Communications at the University of Buenos Aires. I studied acting for a while (enough to know that I enjoy it as an activity, but not as a career).
At the age of 23 I went on holiday to Europe. The 'holiday' lasted 15 years.
I lived in Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona, where I specialized as a teacher and trained as a storyteller. In 2014, I returned to Buenos Aires. Over the years, I studied Pedagogy and Social Education (UTE), Leisure and Recreation (ISTLYR), Literature (UBA), and Popular Education (Pañuelos en Rebeldía). At the same time, I conducted my own research into various alternative teaching methods. My approach to teaching and learning is shaped by these diverse influences, embracing a holistic perspective. I strive to help each person find and develop their own means of expression, recognizing that every student is the protagonist of their own learning journey.
I have been teaching Spanish as a foreign language since 2006 and I continue to explore new ways of working with the language. I have taught children, teenagers, adults, diplomats, musicians, researchers, doctors, teachers, architects, designers, actors, mathematicians, computer scientists, businessmen, painters, engineers, chefs, sailors and many more. I have had students from over 20 different nationalities. With all of them I learn something new about the world and they all learn to enjoy Spanish.
