SPANISH FOR SUSTAINABLE LIVING - AUTUMN 2008
Registration still open! 
Understory continues to offer Spanish Classes this fall, Oct. 2 through Dec. 4 in South 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.
Additionally, we will enjoy one or two "Fiesta" evenings with music, food, and dancing. This will provide the crucial opportunity to party it up with classmates and a cadre of native Spanish speakers and enjoy cooking, chatting, making music, playing croquet, etc.
