- Hi Kathy!! So good to hear back from you yes such in ages!! We are glad to hear how you are doing so well with your studies. We knew you would always do well because you have a really strong and positive working attitude. Hey.. who knows you might interpret for us one day! No, we do not teach at local classes any more so instead we continue to teach through dvds, workbooks, and until recently mobile apps. When you get a chance, visit our website at http://www.everydayasl.com so you will see what we mean. Darling, please do stay in touch with both of us at anytime!
Much love,
Gilda and big Avery,too!
