Question:
Has anybody had any experience in forming a local group to study and
practice spoken Spanish? In my town there is a Hispanic group, but they do
not have any program to help students learn the language; they just want to
organize immigrants to get free stuff from the government. I know that
there are expatriate groups throughout Latin America that give free
English lessons to local students. Does anything like that exist here?
How does one go about forming a local group to practice spoken Spanish? I
live in Pensacola, FL. If you live nearby and are interested please
contact me. You can write in Spanish or English.
Answer:
I'm a Pensacola High School graduate ( '57), FSU grad (German major) and did
not learn Spanish until I went to Colombia (lived there 4 years teaching
English ) and married a Colombian. Move somewhere where most people speak
Spanish and you are forced to use it, with your attempts to learn the
language appreciated and encouraged. It could be living in an all Spanish
speaking neighborhood in Miami or anywhere, but Pensacola, though a pleasant
place to live, is not the best place to learn Spanish.
