¡Hola y bienvenidos! 

My name is Hannah Pakkala, and I'm so excited to help you begin your Spanish language-learning journey at West Middle School. I began my own language learning journey here in Shakopee, and continued to follow my passion at the University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire. I have a deep love for language learning and the amazing connections I've made in my personal life through learning Spanish. I look forward to helping my students build global awareness through learning a new language, as well as creating and developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for the Spanish language.
