Meet the Teacher

Chajuana Marita Hale is a native of Indianapolis, Indiana.  She graduated from Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI) in 2001 with a Bachelors Degree in Chemistry and a minor in Spanish.  Hale was an academic mentor while in undergrad as well as a Spanish tutor.  She has taught several basic conversational Spanish classes for IUPUI Continuing Studies.  Currently, Hale is employed as a scientist at a local diagnostic corporation in the Fishers, Indiana area. 

As early as age 10, Hale has always had a passion for learning Spanish. (A friend joked that it is perhaps due to the spelling of her name: "Chajuana" not "Shawanna" as it is more typically spelled in the African American community!) Along with self-motivation and the desire to be bilingual, Hale continued to study Spanish throughout her academic career. 

In 2003, Hale decided to start her own business as an independent Spanish instructor, when she realized the demand for learning Spanish has tremendously increased. 

Say it ‘N’ Spanish is a great learning tool for anyone who has had little or no Spanish background, and wants to learn how to converse effectively in Spanish, in a short period of time.  Hale has prepared class workbooks and assignments that are designed to challenge her students mentally while enhancing their communication skills in Spanish.  The classes are focused on basic everyday vocabulary and grammar, pronunciation, verb usage, career and travel experiences.
