Group Classes

“I am thrilled with our partnership with the Resource Center of the Americas. The staff has been extremely capable in helping us provide Spanish language classes at St. Joan of Arc. They handle the registration process, provide excellent instructors and are very responsive and enthusiastic. Our parishioners have also taken advantage of other RCA programs, events and educational opportunities that help us build relationships of solidarity with our Sister Parish in Guatemala and with the Latino community in the Twin Cities. The Resource Center of the Americas is a huge asset to the Twin Cities, and a special gift to communities of faith seeking to bring God’s kingdom of justice to fruition in our world.”

“Jose Luis Lopez is a wonderful trainer! Easily the best Spanish class and structure and instructor I’ve ever had.”
Mihailo Temali, Intermediate 1 Fall ‘10

“I’ve taken a lot of Spanish classes, but the teacher (Elsa) and the materials used are about the best I’ve experienced. It’s given me a lot of confidence to go out and speak. I have nothing but great things to say.”
Joe Chapman, Beginning 2 Spring ‘10

“I’m delighted with the class and instructor (David) and eager to proceed.”
Lynda Crotty Beginner 3 Spring ‘10

“I’m really enjoying the curriculum. It’s interesting and relevant and has helped me gain an appreciation for poetry which I didn’t have before.”

“Jose Luis is probably the best language teacher I’ve ever had. (I’ve been a teacher for 17 years, so feel I can really appreciate a great teacher.) He organizes the information in a logical way, has the experience to know the areas where people have a hard time, and he relates to his students extremely well. The two hours always flew by. He’s very committed not just to covering the material in the curriculum, but remedying any areas in which he see his students have weaknesses.”

“Lisselin is an amazing instructor; with her various presentations methods, and patience. I knew a lot of Spanish words, couldn’t speak correct sentences. I learned more and got a better understanding of using the words in her class than in all the other classes and tapes. Please don’t let her go anywhere!”

“I attended the summer class with Katalina / Spanish Service Learning. She is an enthusiastic and extremely well-informed teacher. It was clear she wanted to fashion the class to meet our interests. I would definitely take another class from her. The service learning assignment was a great way to get out in the community. Thanks to all who made this class possible.”
