Культурнае і іспанскае апусканне ў Пуэрта-Рыка

АПІСАННЕ КУРСА

THIS CLASS IS НЕ FOR NATIVE SPANISH SPEAKERS!

One of the best ways to learn a foreign language is to visit a country that speaks it! Puerto Rico is not only a beautiful island in the Caribbean Sea, rich in history and vibrant culture, but it is also American Territory. This means that the island is controlled by the U.S. government but is separate from the mainland. People who are born in Puerto Rico are U.S. Citizens, however they do not have the right to vote in U.S. elections.

Since language is a reflection of culture, one cannot be taught without the other. As you gain knowledge of the Spanish language you will gain insights into the Puerto Rican culture. Puerto Ricans call themselves Boricua. It’s a unique name that honors their island heritage, but it’s also a way of life, a state of mind, a rhythm and flavor that is distinctly Puerto Rico.

Each day you will not only learn standard Spanish vocabulary and grammar in a classroom setting, but will also be made aware of the subtle verbal nuances in Spanish speaking culture. After the language sessions, you will then explore San Juan and surrounding areas, its history, people, music, food and culture – the Boricua way.

We will visit Стары Сан-Хуан and learn about the Capital Building, El Morro, one of two forts inside the San Juan National Historic Site, built by Spain in 1500s to fight pirates or enemies that wanted to invade, Cobblestone Streets, Monuments etc. We will stop in Сантурсе to checkout Street Art and take pics of the Murals. We will also explore the famous neighborhood of La Perla, where the famous music video “Despacito” was filmed.

We will embark on a cultural adventure of afro Puerto Rican heritage in the town of Loiza, where you’ll be taken to the 16th century African township and the cradle of Afro Boricua culture. Here, you will learn how to dance Bomba and about vigilante mask making with a local artisan that craft these pieces to perfection,

We’ll visit a secluded archeological open cave to learn about the history of the first island’s Island inhabitants and the Columbia Exchange’s impact in Puerto Rico. We will also visit a cultural global artist’s working art studio/gallery where you’ll have an opportunity to interact one-on-one, learn about Afroboricua fine arts and purchase autographed elective artwork by the artist himself.

By taking this class, hopefully, you will find that spirit in yourself, too. No previous knowledge of the Spanish language is required to take this class.
