Nancy Pérez

Nancy has been teaching Spanish at UM since 2008. She has taught the following courses:

• All elementary level courses (Spanish 100 through Spanish 232)
• Spanish 230 Abroad with CGIS in Buenos Aires, Argentina
• Spanish 230 Abroad with CGIS in San José, Costa Rica
• Spanish 277 (Spanish in Context: Advancing Your Proficiency)
• Spanish 287 (Advanced Composition and Style)
• Spanish 298 (Introduction to Hispanic Linguistics)
• Spanish 410 (Spanish Phonetics and Phonology)

Before teaching at UM she taught English as a second/foreign language, as well as American English pronunciation. One of her favorite things to do is learn languages. In addition to studying Spanish, she also has some formal study in German, French, Russian, Portuguese, Tagalog (Filipino), and Korean. She loves traveling and experiencing new cultures as well. As an undergraduate and graduate student, she helped document Matlatzinca, an Oto-Manguean language spoken in the central state of Mexico. She also worked several months on Tlahuica (closely related to Matlatzinca) and Gulf Nahuatl (a Uto-Aztecan language from the gulf coast). While she no longer documents languages, she still loves learning about indigenous people all over the world.
