BRADENTON, FL - Goodwill Manasota presents “Conversational & Practical Spanish,” a five-week course - part of its Good Neighbor Program - taught by a native Spanish-speaker and designed to enable participants to speak conversational Spanish without getting bogged down in intense grammar and language rules. Each week, students will learn new vocabulary in areas including meeting and greeting, restaurant and travel, and others as selected by students and teachers together. Business owners and managers with Spanish-speaking employees and service providers will benefit from improved communications, as well.
Free and open to the public. Takes place Thursdays, April 23 - May 21, 6:00-7:30pm at the Goodwill Ranch Lake location (8750 State Road 70 East, Lakewood Ranch). Call (941) 355-2721, ext. 241 or email GoodwillRSVP@gimi.org.
