About the class: About five years ago I decided to teach private Spanish classes. I
wanted to design a course that people could take in their own home or at my home that I now call La Casa de Lenguas. I
also thought it would be fun to write my own little workbook dedicated to my father Joaquin Duran since he taught me so many
wonderful things about his native country Mexico. As a result I am enjoying the interest so many have shown in my classes
and club since people's enthusiasm seems to in turn inspire me. I will be doing a book read sometime in the Spring of
2010 at Village Books in Bellingham and I will announce the date and time soon. Thank you for your interest in "La
Casa de Lenguas", "El Club de Lenguas" and my course "El México de Joaquín".
