Spanish classes offered at Las Chicas Tacqueria

A beginner Spanish class will be offered locally at Las Chicas Taqueria, 208 Front St. in Owego, beginning on Sept. 10. The 10-week course includes a basic introduction to grammar, vocabulary, conversation, and writing, and costs $100 ($10 per class). The class is appropriate for those new to Spanish or as a review for those who have previously studied Spanish.

“Studying foreign languages is a rewarding experience and provides an opportunity for those who plan to travel to Spanish-speaking countries or want to engage and learn from Spanish-speaking cultures. Learning a foreign language also improves cognitive skills and understanding of one’s native language and, according to scientific research, may help delay Alzheimer’s and dementia,” said Erin Riddle, the class instructor. 

Each class will last an hour, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., and will run on Mondays from Sept. 10 through Nov. 12. Participants will meet once a week and complete assignments independently between classes to build their knowledge about the Spanish language and Spanish-speaking cultures.
