Taught From a Christian Perspective
Our mission is to equip learners’ minds and shepherd their hearts. We want them to have saving faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and then develop a biblical worldview. This means they view their world, themselves, and God in a way that aligns with what the Bible teaches. This brings great peace and understanding to the believer because we serve a good, sovereign God. This course is taught with these goals in mind. In class, we may pray, read scripture, and discuss how to view the content from a Christian perspective.
We have adopted The Master’s Seminary Doctrinal Statement.
Nelson Mandela once said, “If you speak to a man in a language he understands, you speak to his head. If you speak to him in his language, you speak to his heart.” The purpose of learning a language is to communicate, which means knowing vocabulary, phrases, and verbal and non-verbal cues to meet needs and share ideas with those who speak the language. There are many benefits to learning a second language, such as increasing memory and attention span, opening more career options, and even improving cognition in the later years of life. While these reasons matter, at Lemons-Aid, our top focus in learning a language is to meet the Great Commission as stated in Matthew 28:19-20 (ESV),
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” The ability to speak two or more languages widens the ministry field and helps create better connections and meaning for people.

Learning Method
At Lemons-Aid, we understand the challenges of learning a new language, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way. We utilize brain-friendly methods that focus on communication and engagement in the target culture. We teach using two main methods.
- Comprehensible input. An American linguist, Dr. Stephan Krashen, first introduced this method in which teachers supply input so that students can understand most of the targeted language. As Krashen argues, using comprehensible input encourages learners to understand, interpret, and use natural brain learning techniques and is one of the most essential factors in learning another language. Content is created specifically for the language learner in mind. Structures and grammar are embedded and practiced naturally. An example of comprehensible input in our curriculum comes from short stories that incorporate and repeat high-frequency vocabulary and phrases.
- Authentic Language Acquisition. This learning method utilizes real-world examples of language from meaningful and real situations. Authentic materials include content from commercials, podcasts, and songs that are part of the target culture and language. This content is not created for second-language learners, forcing students to make cognitive associations. It is shown to improve language retention, improve student motivation with engaging content, and provide cultural awareness in real-life situations. Examples of authentic language content in our curriculum are church songs and short vlogs.
The Lemons-Aid Team
Lemons-Aid teachers have a few things in common.
❤️ They love their students and value each of their unique strengths and personalities that make our classes special. Our classes can be described as fun, personal, academic, challenging, and supportive.
🤩 We work to keep learners engaged, so there is always a degree of student accountability for their attention and focus, whether that be through asking them direct questions or by using the chatbox.
💭 We know all kids can learn, but sometimes things are hard! To support students, we teach them how to develop effective thinking and learning habits that will bring them success in class and in life.
🌟 Building relationships with students so they know we care about them helps us balance the high expectations we have for them regarding their effort, work quality, and behavior. Our students are encouraged, cared for, and they achieve!

Mariela loves reading the whole Bible, but Esther is one of her favourite books. God´s name is never even pronounced, but He is in every moment in Esther´s life but also in His people, Israel. Nothing goes out of God´s control and we can see His power, wisdom, care and perfect will accomplished in every character, even if they wanted it or not. Mordecai´s words, “And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” are so encouraging, remembering that we have to value and use the place God has placed us in to do what is right. But Esther´s words “And if I perish, I perish” are Mariela´s favourites. What an example of living sacrifice! Mariela has a Bachelor’s degree in Science and Arts oriented in programming in Guatemala and a TKT (Teaching Knowledge Test) Certificate in Mexico. She has also studied different diplomats: Word of Life Bible Institute in Argentina, where she lived for almost three years; “Math Their Way”; “Learning thru training fields”; “Biblical Counseling”; and “TPRS 01 Training” in Mexico. Mariela has 13 years of experience teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) in kindergarten, elementary and middle school. She also has more than 20 years teaching the Bible in Sunday School. Miss Mariela is a very dynamic teacher who loves hands-on activities, online learning games, using research innovative tools, and having fun in class, while learning and assessing positively to encourage students to enjoy speaking other languages. Mariela enjoys spending time at home with her family, her husband Geronimo, her two kids, Jonathan and Bryana, and her three Jack Russells, Jack, Rose and Tommy. She loves cooking, baking and reading a good book with a hot cup of coffee. She likes swimming as a sport, pretty much because she is afraid of balls 😜 and she loves going to the park to walk and have picnics. She loves spending vacations at the beach because watching the ocean is one of her favorites ways to worship the Lord seeing such an amazing creation!
