I need to sign up for a credit-based introductory Spanish course, but would also like to have a regular time to practice conversation and presentations with other Extension colleagues--maybe once a month. I'm fine with online stuff, but would prefer to meet face-to-face. I also like the idea of having joint ESL/SSL classes; this way we get to know members of the Latino community and vice versa and share our knowledge and experience as we learn each other's primary language.
Check out what UT (Tennessee) Extension is doing: http://survivalspanish.utk.edu/
Yes I really like what they are doing I have created a few cheat sheets for faculty and staff to use. We do need a lot of practice though

There are several resources, for example:
1. NCSU offer Spanish courses online at:

2. Our Office on Minority Health, along with the AHEC offer 3 trainning levels. This trainning is of course focus on the Health and Human Services. The coordinator is Marie Miranda (919 431-1631)

IMHO, best way to learn is immersion....and don't be afraid to speak!
Hola everyone.
I am a big supporter of Interpreter training. Just being bilingual does not automatically make some one an interpreter. Anyone interpreting needs to be taught things such as 1st person usage, best practices, ethics, etc.
I have been through a lot of interpreter training, I interpret every day (and have been doing that for more than 5 years now) and I still take training as much as possible. I still continue to learn at least something in every seminar I participate in.
I have seen first hand the damage (unintentional and intentional) that can be caused by unprofessional interpreting. We need a consistent guideline for training interpreters. One that I use a lot is the Interpreter Training done by AHEC.
You can look at their website at
http://cnnc.uncg.edu/programs/interpreter.htm
or look up the NCPIA on google
Anyway, keep up the good work, and if I can help you by helping to coordinate interpreter training, please let me know.
