Es posible soñar, by Adriana Ramirez

Vibrant and Focused

Es posible soñar by Adriana Ramírez is the second book I have read by her. The first was El Camino del Café. Since I enjoyed her first book as well as her recorded webinar on Fluency Fast that I purchased to learn more about how Adriana teaches, I was curious about this second book. Through Es posible soñar, Adriana Ramírez guides us into a story that takes place in Medellín, Colombia. I appreciate the care and detail of the writing while also being transported into a new place where I can learn more of the life, culture, people, art and issues at the heart of this story. Adriana crafts a narrative that brings to light the connection of humanity, hope, and the powerful place that art and self-expression have in the ability to be a voice for change. As a writer of this levelled reader for Advanced learners of Spanish, Adriana Ramírez deftly works with vocabulary and expressions that give a real sense of the language spoken in Medellín while also providing a solidly crafted story that provides an enjoyable and immersive reading experience. Through additional resources, such as maps, notes, questions and vocabulary lists in the back of the book to support the reader, Adriana Ramírez invites readers into this world for a time and asks us to reflect on important questions and issues affecting not only the region of Medellín but our communities as well. I am grateful for this book, for this story, and for the questions posed.
