Dígame was founded in 2003 by Camille Martínez, who learned Spanish as an adult. Camille firmly believes that the adult student can learn a foreign language to very near-native fluency, through a combination of excellent instruction, rigorous curriculum, and a self-directed passion to continually seek out new learning opportunites.

WHY "DIGAME"?

"Dígame" (pronounced 'DEE gah may') is a formal command that means "Tell me", and it's what some Spanish speakers say when answering the phone. In the Spring of 1990, while living with a family in Sevilla in southern Spain, Camille regularly heard the mom, Pepi, answer the phone using "Dígame". The expression has been etched on her soul ever since.
