Describe the challenge you want to address:
Hello. I am a woman of African American Decent. Born to 2 English speaking parents. I would like to have a free program that I can attend that will teach me Spanish. I can't go anywhere in the 5 boroughs and find a program to teach Spanish, however, there are several programs to teach English around the entire city. I have now took it upon myself to learn. This I don't understand It's unfair.
What is the solution to the challenge?
Provide adult residents of NYC with free programs to learn Spanish. First priority should be given to individuals who only speak one language(English) This will enable individuals to communicate with Spanish speakers. And will also give individuals a better chance in the employment market which often ask for a Spanish speaker. I'm writing from a Bilingual head start for my daughter
