WHO WE ARE

Dígame was founded in 2003 by Camille Martínez, whose own study of Spanish began from scratch at age twenty. Camille firmly believes that with excellent instruction, rigorous curriculum, and a self-directed passion to continually seek out new learning opportunities, the adult student can learn a foreign language to near-native fluency.


Camille holds a B.A. in English & Spanish from the University of Wisconsin - Madison and an M.A. in Spanish from the Language Schools at Middlebury College. She also serves as a contingency interpreter at Children's Memorial Hospital and as an adjunct faculty member in the Foreign Language Department at Harold Washington College.


WHY "DIGAME"?

"Dígame" ('DEE gah mey') is a formal command that means "Tell me", which some Spanish speakers say when answering the phone. While living with a family in Sevilla in southern Spain, Camille regularly heard the mom, Pepi, using the term and it's been with her ever since.
