Let's learn Spanish together for our Caminos!

What do two of our Woacas say about our classes?

Christine Timmerman says...

I love the weekly lessons. Everything is so well organized. Meeting and speaking with other Peregrinas in the Zoom class is awesome. Hyla and Alysa are open to suggestions from the class members. It's a great time and I look forward to it. So if you have been wondering about learning Spanish for the Camino please join the next class. You won't be sorry. It's well worth it. Buenos Dias Buenos Tardes Buenos Noches Chicas

I absolutely love Hyla and this class. I look forward every week to Wednesdays and our hour together. I have learned a lot and feel so much more confident (and less fearful) about my Camino. Thank you Alysa, Hyla, and everybody else who has participated.

The essential Spanish we need to eat, rest, stay healthy, find our way and make friends as we Woaca the Camino!

Let's have some fun as we easily learn relevant, regionally specific Spanish. Our energetic and cheerful teacher, Hyla will make sure our pronounciation is good and we can set off to walk with more confidence and Woaca swagger.

Here is what we will learn...

Week 1 - Eat

We will learn how to ask for what we want, how to get a seat, find out when a restaurant opens and names for commonly eaten items.

Week 2 - Sleep

This week will be all things accommodation. Woacas need our rest!

Week 3 - Health on the Camino

Phrases and conversation related to cleaning self , taking care of your physical needs, getting help for your body and booking a much needed massage.

Week 4 - Directions

Where to go? How to find the Camino again? How to say "I'm lost". Where is the nearest church, restaurant, town, etc.

Week 5 - Make Friends

How to be polite and friendly and spread our Woaca sunshine in Spanish.

Week 6 - Special Requests

This week is reserved for special requests. We will give Hyla our requests ahead of time and she can craft a class around them.

A safe and fun community for learning a new language…this is what WOACA Spanish for the Camino is all about. Interactive with great resources created by Hyla, such as flash cards and pronunciation videos. The words and phrases that you learn will help you to ask for what you need and maybe even have a conversation or two with a native Spanish speaker. Knowing even a few key words and phrases is a great way to increase your confidence during your grand adventure. Hyla is a wonderful and supportive teacher and I would recommend the classes to anyone who is walking the Camino in Spain.

I have yet to make an appearance at the live meetings but I am loving the convenience of having access to the lessons. I would definitely be interested in another round in October. Muchos Gracias

I have really enjoyed the Spanish Classes live as well as the recordings and also on my phone in the "Wild" while in the country. Hyla has gone above and beyond with resource tools, the PDF, class summary, and quizlet are great to reinforce. Alysa has created a safe, nurturing environment to grow. My favorite part is learning, speaking, and pantomiming along with everyone in class at different levels -just like on the Camino. It is challenging to remember when you are tired or nervous and this class helps the nervous part in a safe supportive environment. I highly recommend this course whether ultimate beginner or an upper-level beginner. Buen Camino Peregrinas
