Spanish: Essential for U.S. Agriculture
With Spanish speakers making up 78% of U.S. agricultural workers and the nation being home to the world's second-largest Spanish-speaking population, speaking Spanish isn't just helpful—it's vital.
With this course, you'll:
- Build genuine connections with native Spanish-speakers
- Communicate more effectively in daily agricultural work
- Learn through engaging, industry-focused lessons
"This class has been a HUGE help for me. I went from playing charades to being able to say what I needed. I loved your energy and enthusiasm for Spanish and it makes me super excited and motivated to learn. Thank you for making Spanish fun for me again."
