Learn Spanish in a fun and natural “whole language” environment. Speakers of varying levels interact, similar to what happens in the real world, and everyone learns. Beginners can expect to learn greetings, introductions, and simple phrases while more advanced speakers will expand their vocabulary and understanding of grammar. Kathleen Cardin, CPM is a nurse and midwife. She is not a native Spanish speaker but has been blessed to have the opportunity to learn Spanish while growing up in South Florida. This has allowed her to travel to Latin America and speak with the interesting people she has met there. Kathleen says she loves teaching Spanish because it’s fun and fulfilling to see students “grow” in the language. Optional Textbook: Spanish Now! Level 1 (Silverstein, Wald & Pomerantz).

This class will focus on Place Names in and around Piscataquis County. We will look into the Native American names in Piscataquis County and research their origin and meaning. We will discuss all the place names Native and Non -Native. Each week, we will discuss a group of four names and talk about what we know as well as what we can learn about it. This will be a fun class where David can learn from your knowledge, as much as you can from his!
