Hello!

I am a former BBC Radio drama and poetry producer. I created www.learnetd.com, a free website for learning English through drama, literature, and storytelling.

I love the culture and beauty of Spanish speaking countries. I have twice cycled the Camino from Mont St Michel to Santiago, also cycled in Cuba and have trekked in the Andes. I love the poetry of John of the Cross, the writings of Teresa of Avila and Ignatian spirituality.

I would be honoured if teachers and students find something useful and inspiring here. My dream is to spread peace through culture — and drama is a beautiful way to connect people across borders.

All are welcome.

With best wishes from England,

Shaun MacLoughlin

Hola
Soy exproductor de teatro y poesía para BBC Radio. Creé www.learnetd.com, un sitio web gratuito para aprender inglés a través del teatro, la literatura y la narración.

Me apasionan la cultura y la belleza de los países de habla hispana. He recorrido en bicicleta el Camino de Mont Saint-Michel a Santiago en dos ocasiones, he pedaleado por Cuba y he caminado por los Andes. Amo la poesía de San Juan de la Cruz, los escritos de Santa Teresa de Ávila y la espiritualidad ignaciana.

Sería un verdadero honor que profesores y estudiantes encontraran aquí algo útil e inspirador. Mi sueño es difundir la paz a través de la cultura, y el teatro es una forma maravillosa de conectar a las personas más allá de las fronteras.

Todos son bienvenidos.

Con mis mejores deseos desde Inglaterra,

Shaun MacLoughlin
