La amistad (Friendship)
By Zoraida Armengol
Es una de las palabras más bonitas
y de los sentimientos más sentidos.
Obedece y atiende a ningún partido
y convierte en risas todas las cuitas.
La amistad no sabe ser egoísta;
no es del presente, ni del pasado.
En lo transcendental puro hace nido
y es incondicional mientras exista.
Es perdonar, tratando de comprender.
Es poder confiar creando una hermandad.
Es respetar y aceptar al otro como es.
Es no criticar, admirar y ceder.
Estar en la alegría y la adversidad.
Es seguir fiel, aunque el mundo ande al revés.
It is one of the most beautiful words
and one of the most heartfelt feelings.
It obeys and attends to not a single party
and turns all troubles into laughter.
Friendship does not know how to be selfish;
it is not of the present, nor of the past.
In the pure transcendental it nests
and is unconditional as long as it exists.
It is to forgive, trying to understand.
It is to be able to trust, creating a siblinghood.
It is to respect and accept others as they are.
It is not to criticize, to admire and to yield.
It is to be in joy and adversity.
It is to remain faithful, even if the world turns upside down.

“My Son, Heath, is taking the classes. He’s been with Luisa the entire time and we absolutely love her. She is always patient and is a great teacher. Heath’s dad speaks Spanish so they get to have little conversations.”
– William R, Parent of 3
“I love that my children have the opportunity to speak with a live person. They get to practice Spanish in a 1-1 setting while improve their speaking, writing and reading skills during their lessons. HSA is a great way to learn Spanish for all ages! My children are 6, 9 and 11. My oldest two (9 and 11) have been taking classes with HSA for almost 2 years now. They love seeing their teacher each week. They understand the importance of learning several languages. I’ve seen them grow and learn with HSA. I’m excited to see how they will improve the more classes they take. I highly recommend them. You can’t bet learning and speaking with a live teacher. I’ve tried other programs. It’s just not as motivating.”
