If the answer is no, South Burnett residents interested in learning Spanish should get themselves along to the Kingaroy Library.
Former Argentinian resident Silvia Fletcher, who formerly taught English in the country, has offered to teach Spanish at the Kingaroy Library.
She began her first class on Friday afternoon.
No prior knowledge of the language is required.
Residents have a choice of two classes: Friday afternoons from 2:00-3:00pm or Saturday mornings starting at 10:00am (the first class is on October 10).
Both classes will be fortnightly and will run for 10 weeks.
The lessons are for beginners, with no previous knowledge required. Students only require a notebook and pen, and all other material will be provided.
However, students will be expected to do homework – both online and offline. Residents can use the library’s free Internet facilities if required.
The classes will explain the difference between European Spanish and Latin American Spanish and explore the rich history of Spanish and Hispanic culture.
Lessons will be tailored to students’ individual interests and needs as much as possible.
For more information, call the Kingaroy Library on (07) 4189-9256 or email Silvia
South Burnett mayor Wayne Kratzmann said the free language classes were one of many programs available at the Kingaroy Library, including monthly local history mornings, a book club, computer classes, and weekly rhyme time mornings for children and parents.
