Back by popular demand, the Hailey Public Library’s Neighborly Spanish is a free, eight-week class taught on Mondays from noon–1:30 p.m. by retired local Spanish teacher, Jim King. The class will offer basic Spanish language skills seasoned with a little history and culture. Enrollment is limited to 20 and preregistration required by emailing kristin.fletcher@haileypubliclibrary.org.
“We offered this class last winter and it was a great success,” commented Fletcher, the library’s education and engagement manager. “Many people in our community want to learn enough Spanish to be neighborly and this series has proved to be a fun way to do just that.”
Fletcher continued, “Jim has a warm and welcoming way of teaching Spanish and sharing about the diverse cultures he so obviously loves and respects. Although this is designed as a beginner’s class, intermediate speakers will benefit, as well. Each class is a bit longer this time and we’re offering the series for two months, which allows for more practice time.”
Classes will be offered on Mondays from January 22–March 18 and be held at Town Center West, 116 S. River St., Hailey. For more information about this and other library programs, call (208) 788-2036 or visit www.haileypubliclibrary.org
