Story Time

Everyone showed up a little nervous and very ready; during a museum afternoon, we leaned on **amalgamar** (To combine or unite to form one larger...), **ancho de banda** (The maximum amount of data that can be...), and **apaciguar** (To make someone less angry or hostile; to calm...) to set a direction. Meanwhile, **abstracto** (Relating to art that does not attempt to...), **acusación formal** (A formal accusation that a person has committed...), and **acre** (Describes a situation or dispute as being...) turned confusion into small, testable steps.

With a deep breath, we connected the dots using **al dente** (Describes pasta that is cooked so as to be...), **algoritmo** (A process or set of rules to be followed in...), and **alcance** (The range of a subject or the limits within...). In the final stretch, **aduana** (The official department that administers and...), **agravio** (A formal complaint about a perceived wrong.), and **andamiar** (To provide support for a learner as they are...) held the thread while we trimmed the noise. When nerves spiked, **API** (An acronym for Application Programming...), **anómalo** (Describes something that deviates from what is...), and **amorfo** (Describes something that has no clearly defined...) closed the loop, and the room finally exhaled.
