and lyrics sheets will be provided.
If you are studying Spanish for a job or a trip, or just for your own knowledge, I can help you
with your specific issues and needs. Conversation, pronunciation, grammar, and reading will be
covered as needed.
The class level is high beginning to low intermediate, but all are welcome.
Adults or motivated students only. Older adults welcome. 10 student minimum.
About the Instructor:
Twenty five years ago, I lived in Central America. Since then, I've worked with refugees and
immigrants, first as a social worker and later as a language instructor. I’ve visited Central
America many times and I've been speaking Spanish regularly for about 30 years.

Movie Night – Thursday, June 19th @ 7pm
Join us for a community movie night as we watch and discuss the documentary
film Turning Points: Stories of Life and Change in the Church.
We’re presenting this movie in response to the recent court decisions
regarding marriage in California and the ongoing discussion, discernment
and dialogue about gay and lesbian people in the Presbyterian Church which
will be taken up at the General Assembly gathering of our national church this
month in San Jose (look for the article on GA in the Voice).
Come to see this documentary
which seeks to lift up the personal stories of several church members. It’s not an expose of
scripture, but rather an invitation to hear the stories of several other followers of Jesus.
Then stay for some conversation in which our goal will not be to convict or convert others
to our own given perspective, but to dialogue and discuss.
