Course Description: This is a class for everyone that is interested in learning Spanish. The rules are being patient with yourself and having a passion for learning this language. I will focus on the beginner level, but I am flexible to increase the level if 100% of the class is on the same page. I would like everyone to learn the alphabet in Spanish prior to the classes. Here is a Youtube video that is a great guide: How To Pronounce Letters In Spanish

Notes: If you have a Spanish dictionary you can use it or your phone translator as well (this is not required). This will be a 6-8 week class, specific class dates will be determined at a later date.

Class Leader Bio(s): Maria Vanegas is 24 years old and is from Colombia. She studied Supply Chain Logistics for her bachelor’s degree. She has always loved to learn languages and speaks Italian and basic French, as well as English and her native Spanish. At a very young age she was happy to teach English to her friends who were struggling to learn it. She enjoys teaching others and it gives her joy. The Hispanic presence is growing in the United States and in the world in general and she wants to contribute her part to help with it.

Course Description: If you have studied French in the past, you will be surprised at how much can come back with a bit of practice. Each week we will review vocabulary on a specific topic and a basic grammatical structure. We will then break into two groups based on previous French experience for conversation.
