Course Descriptions:

101:     For beginners or people with a little bit of experience. The goal of the class is for students to be able to use the present tense and learn enough vocabulary to be able to describe themselves and their activities and those of the world around them.

201:     For people who can express themselves in Spanish already but need to refine some skills and learn nuances of the language. The goal of the class is for students to improve their conversation skills and grammatical proficiency. Classes will be taught entirely in Spanish.


* Both courses have the goal of cultural competency as well. The cultural component is integrated into the material of the class.

Round 2 (The Schedule)

Hola amigos. I just met with Mama Bird, Heidi Herr to talk about classes in January. She is willing to give us Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights from 7:00 - 8:30.

With that schedule I will be able to give 2 classes; one on Sundays and Tuesdays 7:00 - 8:30 pm and one on Mondays and Wednesdays 7:00 - 8:30 pm.

I will be working this week on syllabi and offerings. Right now I'm thinking about a 101 (Beginners) and a 201 (Intermediate).

The 101 would be for complete beginners or for people who took Spanish in highschool...a long time ago.

The 201 would be for anyone who has the ability to express themselves in Spanish already, but need more practice speaking as well as grammar instruction.

Classes would meet twice a week for 1.5 hours per class. Each session would last 4 weeks, making 8 total classes. In all, 12 hours for $150 ($12.50/hr, not bad right?). Classes will be limited to 8 students (minimum of 3).

If you are interested in taking a class but these don't fit your needs please contact me (zbohn13@yahoo.com) and we'll try to set something up.

And just to spice things up here's a pic from one of my favorite areas in Spain, the North Coast:
This is from a little town called Santillana del Mar. There isn't much there other than this nicely preserved old town.

Hasta luego!
