Learn more about Danny

  • What is your favorite word in your language and why?

    Eclético. I love the sound. I love the meaning. I relate to it very much :)

  • What is your favorite dish from your hometown? If you no longer live there is there a good local restaurant that serves it?

    You can't beat Pulpo a la Gallega :) Oreja is surprisingly good, and you can't go wrong with a good Paella. In the summer nothing refreshes you better than tinto de verano.

  • Besides the languages you teach, do you speak or study any other languages?

    I used to know Catalán because I lived near Barcelona for 3 years as a kid but I hardly use it anymore so I can understand it but don't speak much of it. I have a casual understanding and interest in German and Italian as well.

  • What are your interests outside of teaching at Strommen?

    Acting, Improv, playing guitar, going to the gym, reading, watching soccer, (Real Madrid of course) following the NBA... I am a big movie nerd as you can imagine :)

  • What do you consider your hometown? Why do you love it?

    Madrid. I love how well-connected it is. You can get by perfectly in most of the city without owning a car. People talk about the New York or London subway but in my experience, nothing beats Madrid when it comes to that.
