Spanish Learning Podcast Creators

Evan and Vanessa are the creators of Eat Your Spanish!

They are a bilingual Florida based children’s and family band with a background in Montessori education methods, and were recently named one of the “Best New Latin Kid’s Music Groups” by Billboard.com!

Evan was born in Toronto, Canada, and moved to the United States when he was 4 years old.  He first start playing guitar at age 4, and has since developed the ability to perform on over 20 instruments, most of which you will hear on the podcast! His love of Spanish language and culture was sparked when he met Vanessa and her wonderful family.

Vanessa was born in California but moved to Quito, Ecuador to live with her grandparents when she was 2 months old. She lived there until she was almost 7, learning Spanish in tandem with English. She developed a love for Spanish language and culture while growing up in Ecuador and feels very passionate about creating music and educational content that brings Spanish speaking and English speaking communities together. She recently attained her certification in Montessori teaching for ages 3-6, and has taught in a Montessori classroom for 5 years. The Montessori way of living and learning is very much a part of all of the work that she and Evan do together.

“Eat Your Spanish” is a podcast created Evan and Vanessa to share their deep love of music and the Spanish language with children everywhere. Their goal is to provide a constant source of warmth and comfort for all who listen and to make sure the Spanish content feels fun and easy to learn.
