Together with their parents, they are part of <a href=\"https:\/\/senderolaherreria.com\/\">Sendero La Herrer\u00eda<\/a>, a family-run project dedicated to the conservation of endemic species and responsible tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During a visit to the project, Bridge\u2019s CEO, <strong>Jean-Marc Alberola<\/strong>, had the opportunity to learn firsthand about the work carried out by the Herrera family and the impact Sendero La Herrer\u00eda has on the conservation of birds and local ecosystems. It was in this context that Bridge decided to grant them an <strong>English learning scholarship<\/strong>, as a concrete way to support their development and amplify the reach of this initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Sendero La Herrer\u00eda is the only place in the world where the <strong>Cundinamarca Antpitta<\/strong> bird can be observed feeding at a feeder, thanks to the family\u2019s daily and committed work. The project receives international visitors, researchers, and birdwatching enthusiasts, making English not just a plus, but <strong>a real necessity.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We spoke with Yersson and Shaira about their experience learning English with Bridge and how this process has become<strong> a key tool to expand their project\u2019s visibility and connect with people from all over the world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">English as a Real Need, Not an Academic One<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Yersson, 22, and Shaira, 10, share something beyond English: a strong curiosity for languages. For them, learning a new language is a way to better communicate with the people who visit the trail and to broaden their personal and professional horizons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Yersson, English stopped being just a school subject when the family project began receiving international tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cAt school, English was very basic. The real need came when the family project started,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>His learning was mainly empirical, driven by daily interaction with international visitors. However, that constant practice was not always accompanied by structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cI asked a lot, like \u2018how do you say this?\u2019, but my grammar was very weak. There isn\u2019t always someone to correct you,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bridge scholarship marked a turning point: personalized classes, constant feedback, and a safe space to make mistakes and learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/languages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img1-11-1.jpg\" alt=\"Sendero La Herrer\u00eda family standing by a conservation sign in Guayabetal, Colombia, highlighting community and environmental impact. \" class=\"wp-image-41186\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bridge.edu\/languages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img1-11-1.jpg 735w, https:\/\/bridge.edu\/languages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/img1-11-1-480x243.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 735px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning With Purpose, From an Early Age<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shaira also actively participates in the project. She enjoys reading, learning languages, and helping visitors who arrive at the trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cI feel useful when I can help people understand what they need,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>About her experience with Bridge, she highlights the personalized approach to learning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cHere they really assess your level and help you improve, especially pronunciation. I like that the teacher is patient and explains things calmly.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>For Shaira, learning English is a door open to the future:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cEnglish opens many opportunities for me, even if one day I don\u2019t continue with the project.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to strengthening his English, Yersson has shown interest in continuing to learn other languages, such as <strong>German<\/strong>, driven by his motivation to communicate with visitors from different countries. In Shaira\u2019s case, her interest in languages goes beyond English\u2014she has also begun exploring French, motivated by her curiosity and love for learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Scholarship That Amplifies Impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The scholarship granted by Bridge not only strengthened their language learning, but also their confidence. It allowed them to professionalize a key skill for their daily reality and enhance a project that combines conservation, education, and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201c<strong>It\u2019s been fundamental<\/strong>. The teacher corrects in a very constructive way and is always attentive to how she can add more value,\u201d Yersson highlights.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Flexibility and close support were especially important to balance learning with daily work at the reserve. For Yersson, <strong>the online modality has been particularly relevant<\/strong>, as it allows him to learn without having to travel long distances\u2014essential given the daily work required by the family project and the location of the reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the language itself, the scholarship represented a sign of support and trust. It allowed them to learn in a structured environment, with close guidance and classes adapted to their reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201c<strong>We are very grateful. Bridge has been a great help<\/strong>\u201d, Yersson says.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Language as a Tool to Grow and Project Forward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, both Yersson and Shaira see language learning as a gateway to new opportunities: more visitors, more cultural exchange, and greater impact for Sendero La Herrer\u00eda. Their story shows that learning English does not always respond to a corporate objective, but to a deeper purpose: <strong>to communicate, to protect, and to share.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Bridge, we believe that language learning can be a bridge to connect realities, support high-impact projects, and expand horizons. Yersson and Shaira\u2019s story reminds us that when learning has meaning, its impact goes far beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/d\/cv5g-9th-3dh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Want to learn how language can amplify purpose-driven projects?
