<\/a><\/p>\nLa biblioteca del Instituto Cervantes ha recibido de parte de\u00a0los amigos de Mrs. Ellen Mares una donaci\u00f3n de libros en su memoria.<\/p>\n
\u00abNacida en Syracuse, Nueva York, en 1960, Ellen descubri\u00f3 r\u00e1pidamente que un lugar de nacimiento es simplemente un punto de partida. Su pasi\u00f3n por aprender y actuar la llev\u00f3 desde la danza moderna, a las tierras mediterr\u00e1neas del romance y el misticismo, a una carrera de tres d\u00e9cadas que ense\u00f1a a mentes j\u00f3venes y entusiastas a hablar en nuevas lenguas. Se gradu\u00f3 en Phi Beta Kappa de la Northwestern University y recibi\u00f3 una maestr\u00eda con honores en Literatura y Lengua en Espa\u00f1ol del Middlebury College en Espa\u00f1a. Tambi\u00e9n estudi\u00f3 en la Universidad Internacional Men\u00e9ndez Pelayo en Santander, Espa\u00f1a y en Bank Street College of Education en Nueva York, NY.<\/p>\n
Ellen pas\u00f3 su vida erudita y amante de los muchos idiomas del mundo. So\u00f1\u00f3 y habl\u00f3 en espa\u00f1ol, italiano, rumano e ingl\u00e9s, y tambi\u00e9n entendi\u00f3 los idiomas universales de la danza, el teatro y el arte. Ella comparti\u00f3 este ardor con su familia, amigos y estudiantes. Ellen entendi\u00f3 que la ense\u00f1anza del idioma era mucho m\u00e1s profunda que el vocabulario y la gram\u00e1tica. A lo largo de los a\u00f1os, docenas de sus alumnos le expresaron c\u00f3mo los abri\u00f3 a historias y experiencias y otros mundos.\u00bb<\/p>\n

\u00abBorn in 1960 in Syracuse, NY, Ellen quickly discovered that a birthplace is merely a starting point. Her passion for learning and performing took her from modern dance, to Mediterranean lands of romance and mysticism, to a three-decade career teaching young, eager minds how to speak in new tongues. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Northwestern University and received a master’s degree with honors in Spanish Literature and Language from Middlebury College in Spain. She also studied at Universidad Internacional Menendez Pelayo in Santander, Spain and Bank Street College of Education in New York, NY.<\/span><\/p>\n Ellen spent her life a scholar and lover of the many languages of the world. She dreamt and spoke in Spanish, Italian, Romanian, and English, as well as understood the universal languages of dance, drama, and art. She shared this ardor with her family, friends, and students. Ellen understood that teaching language was far deeper than vocabulary and grammar. Over the years, dozens of her students expressed to her how she opened them up to stories and experiences and other worlds.\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n La biblioteca del Instituto Cervantes ha recibido de parte de\u00a0los amigos de Mrs. Ellen Mares una donaci\u00f3n de libros en su memoria. \u00abNacida en Syracuse, Nueva York, en 1960, Ellen descubri\u00f3 r\u00e1pidamente que un lugar de nacimiento es simplemente un punto de partida.
