SUMMARY:SPANISH FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE | Fall 2026
DESCRIPTION:¡Bienvenides! Welcome to Spanish for Social Justice! \n  \nAlgarabía Language Co-op is excited to announce that we are offering virtual Spanish classes this fall! \n  \nAlgarabía Language Co-op offers Spanish for Social Justice courses in partnership with The People’s Forum. We offer classes at the beginner\, intermediate\, and advanced levels of fluency for those interested in topics related to social justice\, politics\, and culture. Through weekly social justice themes and using a communicative and popular education approach\, participants will improve their Spanish skills and critically engage with various cultural productions centered around the lived experiences of working-class people of Indigenous and African descent on the continent. These courses are designed for folks at different levels of fluency in their productive (speaking\, writing) and receptive (listening and reading) skills. Special focus will be given to learning vocabulary and community organizing terminology relevant to contemporary social movements in New York City (Lenapehoking)\, one of the largest and most diverse Spanish-speaking cities in the world\, as well as the rest of Turtle Island and Abya Yala.  \n  \nTo apply\, click HERE \n  \nFALL 2026 COURSE SCHEDULE: \n  \nClick HERE to view the full list of classes\, schedules and descriptions. \n*Times are in Eastern Time (ET) / New York\, New York \nVirtual Courses (10 Weeks)  \nStart: Week of October 5–11\, 2026  \nEnd: Week of December 7–13\, 2026 \nClasses meet Monday–Thursday and Saturday–Sunday \n  \nIMPORTANT: \n▪ This virtual program is Open-to-All.

This includes 25 hours of instruction over 10 weeks and all course materials. \n  \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION \nAll courses focus on the use of inclusive\, gender-neutral\, and anti-racist language. There is an emphasis on validating U.S. Spanish and other varieties of Spanish that are often considered “non-standard.” We actively include the use of “vos” as used in Central America.  \n  \nAs part of Algarabía’s mission to make our courses accessible\, we offer sliding-scale rates and flexible payment plans. You’ll be able to select your payment tier and plan directly within the application form\, based on your financial circumstances. \nABOUT OUR LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION: At Algarabía Language Co-op\, we see language learning as a meaningful\, collaborative\, and transformative process reflected in our training in hands-on communicative and task-based language teaching approaches and our use of popular education in the language classroom. We seek to support the holistic development of all language learners as they become competent multilingual speakers. We design classroom activities and utilize textbooks and other original didactic materials that cater to our participants’ needs and reflect the linguistic and racial/ethnic diversity of the Spanish-speaking worlds. \nAlgarabía will contact selected participants on a rolling basis and provide them with a link to complete their payment and secure their spot in the class. \n  \nTake a look at our FAQ!  \n  \nFor more information about our language services\, go to www.algarabialanguage.com or email us at algarabialanguage@gmail.com
