Thanks for your answer! I have a feeling that that's what it means, but I wasn't sure. I do understand that enséñame means to teach. however, what she used was different. Is that a different way to say it? Or is it possible that that's how she wrote it because she couldn't type words with those accent marks?

I'd think it is for lack of these accent marks, or doing it in with some tablet or phone with no ability to type correctly...
