Current Skills Being Offered
From Janet Tillman, UURMAPA Connections Coordinator
Noted below are amazing skills offered by four generous UURMaPA members. Check these out to see if any are of interest to you.
1. Spanish Lessons – Jeff Jones
Jeff’s Spanish Lessons continue to be a very popular educational offering. Jeff will offer Intermediate Spanish lessons staring in April 2027. The classes are offered in four eight-week sessions on Zoom. Each class is 2 hours long, with a 10-minute break in the middle. The classes are 2-4 p.m. EST on Thursdays.
Jeff estimates that 4 hours of preparation per week are necessary to get the full benefit of the classes. He also asks those taking the classes to give two hours per week to serve the immigrant community. It is completely on the honor system, and no one needs to tell him what they are doing, although sharing experiences and ideas on serving the immigrant community could be beneficial to all in the class. You simply must agree to it as part of signing up for the class.
Currently, the first session of Intermediate Spanish starting in April is full. If you are interested in the intermediate classes, you can contact Jeff at jeffjonesuu@aol.com to be added to his wait list of people interested in joining a class. Jeff can assist you in determining which session would be best for you when an opening occurs.
