Beginner Spanish for Anti-Authoritarians

Though we live in a place with lots of Spanish speaking communities around us, it is often difficult to bridge that lingual barrier and actually talk to folks. This class aims to give participants the basics to communicate in Spanish speaking contexts. The class will largely depend on the skill level and the desires of the participants. I've never taught a spanish class before so don't expect some sort of formula or model. I hope to focus on basic grammar and vocabulary useful when talking about issues of oppression, migration, gender, police harassment, politics, anarchism... I will distro anarcho-punk and zapatista texts for reading.
