and a mix of Spanish History as well. Sean Alphonse covers a lot about Spanish Linguistics and the history behind the words, and is an amazing wealth of knowledge with around 20 years of knowledge under his belt. His goal is to become a translator, and boy howdy with how much he knows he's a shoe-in for that. Or he can become a narrator, because his voice and teaching cadence is amazing! Hope you all loved this man's brain as much as I have. Enjoy!
