Multilingue is Making the News!

Sunday's edition of La Nacion (July 19th) had a full page (8A) on the Multilingue program. The articles quoted Katherine Stanley and several of our fellow Volunteers & Conversation Partners. We're on our way!

What's New on this Blog!

Hello all!
Please scroll down to see a couple photos from our conversation groups in San Pedro (San José) and Cañas (Guanacaste), as well as a short article about our program in the official Casa Presidencial bulletin. At the very bottom of the page, you'll find links to lots of new materials, including the great presentations that the Cultural Center Master Teachers created for our orientation sessions last month, as well as a contact sheet and tracking sheet for you to use at your conversation groups. I am working to find a way to make the download process simpler. Please let me know what you think of the materials!
Have a great weekend, everyone.

Thank you, Katherine and Lucy

Thanks again for the excellent job. It makes me feel like part of something special and exciting when I see the professionalism, the great work and effort that you have put into the project. I enjoyed the Palmares session very much.

A suggestion for a topic: Pets. Stories about them, experiences with them, cultural differences with pets in U.S. and C.R. When I first came to Costa Rica I brought an elderly cat with me. Seeing the reaction of my landlady and her family, and my maid's fear of the cat, made me realize that there was a cultural difference here. My cat and I learned a lot of spanish together when we first moved here. I have a young cat now that my maid just loves. I'm sure Costa Ricans would have many tales (tails?) to tell of their pets.

Regards,
Loyd
