Iris Acevedo A.

Iris Acevedo A. was born in Costa Rica. She lived and grew up in Ohio, Oklahoma and Kansas, returning to Costa Rica in 1976. Iris is the founder of CostaRica SpanishOnline, the first online Spanish school in Costa Rica to provide independent learners with live One-On-One Spanish Immersion Courses via Zoom or Skype.

In 2018, she branched out and is now offering English Conversation Skills courses to Latina American learners residing in Costa Rica and abroad.

During her over 30 years' experience teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language to learners from all over the world who have visited Costa Rica in order to learn Spanish, she took a keen interest in independent learners: an emerging group of students who have studied English and Spanish on their own, and somewhere along the process seek a Spanish language teacher to guide them. This is her field of expertise.

Iris has written several articles on Spanish Language Tips and Top Questions for Ezine.com, such as The Spanish Subjunctive and The Future Tense, The Use of The Spanish Pronouns "Vos, Tú and Usted", among others.

Iris has put together 3 series of Spanish Readers available on Amazon :

-Spanish Reader for Beginners-Elementary-3 books

-Spanish Reader for Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced Students-8 books

-Spanish Conversation Books-4 books

All books contain a combination of Spanish Grammar structures as well as Spanish phrases lying within a narrative style guiding the reader to an unusual twist, which keeps the independent student engaged hence entertained while achieving a higher level of knowledge of the language as well as emergence of conversation skills in Spanish.

Please note that these Readers and Conversation Books are not Grammar Books or Travel Guides. The only books of the collection that contain Grammar exercises are: Spanish Reader for Beginners-Elementary, Elementary II, and Elementary III, with a complete translation from Spanish to English for those students who are just beginning to make their first or second attempt to learn the language on their own.
