Conquistador Spanish Language Institute, LLC, Savannah

Native Spanish speaker Bertha Hernandez collided with the language barrier when she moved to the US from Mexico in seventh grade. But it didn't separate her from classmates for long; Bertha acquired English and overcame the barrier within a year and a half. As owner of Conquistador Spanish Language Institute, LLC, she and fellow teacher Dr. Ana Maria Viseras help students learn Spanish through classes and tutoring sessions.
