About Live the Language

Deidre and Kateri Aragon, a mother-daughter team, conceived Live the Language (LTL) in 2005 to offer a Spanish program to the Austin community to not only speak and attain fluency in Spanish, but also learn Spanish within a cultural context. Deidre and Kateri were inspired by their love for languages and Mexican culture as well as by the legacy of their ancestors, especially Mayan Princess Nicte-há Che Xiu de Aragón, a polyglot educator and Mexico’s cultural ambassador in the mid-twentieth century, and Agustín Aragón Leiva, a polyglot educator, composer, writer, gastronome, and founder of La Academia Mexicana de Gastronomía y Bromatología, Mexico’s first academy of gastronomy. Since the inception of Live the Language, Marshall Ryan Maresca, Deidre’s husband, has played a key role in the creative aspects of LTL’s programs, ranging from catered classes and culinary retreats to bilingual plays for children.
