Amy Moeller
I am a Middle School ESL Tutor/Paraeducator. Many of my students and their parents are Spanish speaking. I am not a Spanish speaker and this lack of a 2nd language can often be an impediment to communicating with students and their parents.  Google Translate is unbelievably FANTASTIC! It is so easy to use too! I will type in my message and go through the easy steps to getting it translated in Spanish. It is indeed a good start to establishing contact with my students and parents. Plus, a person is a whole lot more comfortable and trusting of someone who takes the time to address them in their native language. Plus, Google Translate has a ton of other languages too. Love it!!!!
