SPANISH FOR SUSTAINABLE LIVING - AUTUMN 2008

Could it be time to learn Spanish?

Understory continues to offer Spanish Classes this fall, Sept - Dec. in Minneapolis.

Beginner and Intermediate classes are offered, with a focus on practical Spanish for doing things in a sustainable world: building, growing food, cooking, interacting with neighbors, and more.

Classes will be divided between core grammar/capacity building, and expanding vocabulary. Fun will be had.

We have also compiled resources which exemplify skillful use of Spanish-language and bilingual communications around these issues and more:
