Hola, Gozo. Soy creativedisco. That's cool that you teach ESL. I'm having to take a linguistics class this semester that focuses primarily on the ESOL endorsement here in Georgia.

 

[Gozo]

No, I'm not teaching ESL currently, though I am thinking as soon as I get caught up on some work I'd like to volunteer at an elementary school with the ESL classroom to help some of the students understand their classwork or just to give them a break with being forced to only use English. I am of the belief that the first language should be used to teach the second.

Are you aware of any churches around here that are highly involved with Hispanic outreaches? Ones that actually are making a difference are hard to find. There are two UMC churches in Chattanooga, where I was, that are having great success in reaching the Hispanic community. I'd love to find something similar here. They found the key was to reach the children in the schools first, and the parents will get involved through the kids.

Westvleteren,

I'm right off of PIB at the intersection with Suwanee Dam. I just got lost in Duluth a couple days ago trying to find McAlisters off of exit 109. Very frustrating.

Westvleteren,

I'm right off of PIB at the intersection with Suwanee Dam. I just got lost in Duluth a couple days ago trying to find McAlisters off of exit 109.

I spent my first couple of years in Duluth getting lost. All the roads look alike to me. ("Is that the same strip mall with dry cleaners and nail salon I just saw or is it a different one?")

If you go to Harry's Farmer's Market or any other store with an international presence, there's a free Spanish-language newspaper called "Mundo Hispanico" that you can pick up--usually wherever there are apartment guides and other free publications. I haven't read it in a while, but there used to be a community section where you could find a listing of ESL programs, both paid courses and church- or community-sponsored ones. The listing won't be limited to Gwinnett, but it might be a place to start.
