I hate to admit that I was most proficient in Spanish when I was 19 years old (and that was a number of years ago).  One of my parents wonderful gifts to me as a child was to let me travel to learn languages.  I went to Paris with my sister and mother for seven weeks when I was 13.  I spent two summers in Mexico when I was in high school.  My graduation present from high school was to go to the University of Madrid that summer.  I am glad to have a background in French, but it was my exposure to Spanish and Latino culture that has been a life long love affair.  When I decided to create bilingual media for young children, I knew I would work with the best native translators and voice talent to make sure that my products were providing the exposure to authentic accents.  Cecilia Domeyko  of Accent Media was a great asset in the production of  Bees Buzz & Lions Roar/Las abejas zumban y los leones rugen.   http://www.accentmediainc.com/people.htm.  Cecilia is an award winning producer in her own right.  A native of Chile, she has lived all over the world.  Our paths crossed through Women in Film & Video in DC. Thanks, Cecilia for your assistance.
