You move to Spain with hopes, plans, and a new life ahead of you. Then one day, you are sitting in a school meeting, standing at the doctor, trying to explain something important — and suddenly, Spanish feels like a wall. Not because you are not trying. Not because you do not care. But because the words are not there yet. Many of us in the ICV community know that feeling. That is why this ICV Spotlight features Lina Corredor — Spanish Language Coach, multilingual teacher, mother, author of Me Pre-Ocupo, host of the podcast ¿Dónde está el manual?, and long-time Valencia resident. We chose Lina for her engaging community spirit, 26+ years of language experience, and her genuine passion for people, cultures, and connection. Through her teaching, writing, and podcast conversations, Lina helps turn language from a wall into a doorway — into real conversations, new opportunities, and a life in Spain that feels less like survival and more like belonging.
