Planning a birding trip to a Spanish-speaking destination and want to communicate more effectively with local birding guides? Want to engage Latinx birders in your city whose first language is Spanish? Want to dust off the Spanish you may have taken way back in high school or learn the rudiments of the language to stretch your horizons? Then this Spanish for Birders introductory class is for you.
The class will be taught by Dr. Christy Esmahan, who has lived in both Central American and Spain for over 15 years and who is a retired educator passionate about birds and a delightful engaging instructor. This Spanish for Birders introductory course will include a very brief overview of Spanish pronunciation before diving into the words for bird anatomy, common phrases used in birding, and the names of bird groups.
