In this episode of Empowering Homeschool Conversations, host Peggy Ployhar and guest Suzanne Gose explore how learning a second language can be a powerful tool for struggling learners. Suzanne, a former public school teacher, transitioned to homeschooling over two decades ago when her love for teaching inspired her to offer local Spanish classes.

Since that first small offering, Suzanne has taught Spanish and public speaking to homeschool students weekly, believing in the transformative potential of language to engage and empower learners who may face academic or social challenges. As a homeschool advocate and founder of the Community Homeschool Center, Suzanne brings a wealth of experience in creating supportive learning environments tailored to unique learners. She'll share how a new language can aid in social interaction, confidence, and cognitive growth, drawing from her years of teaching and her commitment to helping children and families find success in their homeschooling journeys.
