One of the important goals we have at FuegoMundo is to help bring a little South American culture to our neighbors in Metro Atlanta. Such as bringing the Rio Carnaval & Colombian Carnaval Street Festival to Atlanta this coming Saturday 2/13 (more on that later).
But, this past Saturday, we did something even more fun, personal, delicious & educational.
A local Spanish teacher, Erika Velez, brought her “Amigos Spanish class for Parents” of the Atlanta International School (AIS) for Lunch at FuegoMundo! We assisted in helping the students and families improve their Spanish skills by immersing them in the language.
Once seated at the restaurant, everyone was ONLY allowed to speak Spanish. Our staff ONLY spoke in Spanish, we prepared Spanish-only menus, and once ready, everyone HAD to order in Spanish.
It was a lot of fun. It was followed by South American Trivia and prizes to the kids and parents of the Amigos Spanish Class. And as you know from 11th grade language class, you really only begin to learn the language when you immerse yourself in the process.
We enjoyed the experience, and look forward to having them back!
[NOTE: We are always happy to entertain groups and create a similar experience, whether you are a local class, an adult education group, or frankly, just some friends who want learn to speak better Spanish. Let us know!]
