New Year brings new ideas

Hola Fellow bloggers! This year North Valley Public Library is offering FREE Spanish classes taught by Oscar Macz, Friday evenings from 6:15 - 8 pm. The classes are held in the Community Room of the Library. Also, hot off the press, Oscar has begun teaching beginner Spanish for children ages 5-10, every week from 4-5 pm on Thursdays. I am taking the adult class and am really enjoying the learning experience. There are approximately 6 or 7 students at an intermediate level. This week we are going to the restaurant Fiesta en Jalisco as a surprise for Oscar and to practice our travel related speaking skills. What a fun class! For more information, call the Library at 777-5061.

Free Spanish classes at the Library

Hello, Everyone! Oscar Macz has started teaching Spanish language classes at our library. And Oscar has generously offered these classes at no cost. (Donations to the library are encouraged.) Friday evenings there is a class for adults from 6:15 - 7:30 pm. Thursday there is a class for children between 5 - 10 years of age from 4-5 pm. Oscar is a busy man, caring for his 1 year old son, Thomas, during the day, until his lovely wife, Debbie, returns from her work as an attorney for Ravalli County. Oscar has a web site where he posts the weekly homework assignments.
There is much knowledge to be gained and fun to be had at these Spanish classes. If you are interested in learning more about the classes, contact the library. Or post to the blog.
Looking forward to meeting many more of you soon.
