	Christmas at Cemanahuac: Poinsettias, Posadas, and Piñatas

Christmas is a most colorful time in Mexico! You’ll enjoy the posadas, the special foods and drinks, and the best of other holiday customs in Cuernavaca during the days before and after Christmas. The Three Kings will be out right after Christmas to hear the petitions of the children...and maybe even listen to yours!

Cemanahuac will have Spanish language and Mexican culture classes throughout the holidays and every neighborhood celebrates with typical festive posadas on the days just before Christmas. Our families will welcome you into the warmth of their homes at this special time. You’ll go home with much better Spanish, a far better understanding of the culture of Mexico, and a holiday spirit that will last far into 2012!!!

Cemanahuac will offer you a special reduction in registration and tuition to make it possible for you to enjoy the sunshine, the festivities, and all the fun of the holidays in Mexico. Your entire family can relax in the color and unique festive atmosphere that IS Mexico in December.

	Summer Programs for Educators: "Spanish Skills for Teachers: Language and Cultural Enrichment"

• June 9, 2012
• June 23, 2012
• July 7, 2012
• July 21, 2012

Summer intensive two-week seminars for language and ESOL teachers.

The Spanish language program is offered for four hours per day
in very small classes at each student's exact level. A fifth hour is available
four days a week at no additional cost. All students should be prepared to
spend at least two hours per day on homework and outside exercises.

At Cemanahuac we believe the language is best taught along with a strong
cultural component. The culture of Mexico is fascinating in its Prehispanic
richness, perfect for inclusion in any Spanish class in the United States at
any level, and with the number of Latinos from Mexico in the United States,
it's important for anyone working with them in any capacity to gain an
appreciation of Mexican customers and cultures. Afternoon classes focus
on the history, foods, arts, and music of Mexico, and full-day field study
trips are offered every weekend, along with shorter half-day field study trips
on weekdays. There are many ongoing activities with no fee in Cuernavaca
each week for teachers. In addition to our current events talks, Mexican
history, literature of Mexico, art, and Mesoamerican cultures classes,
teachers can visit a social service program we support, VAMOS, to see afterschool classes and preschool programs, the colorful public markets, and the busy Zocalo of Cuernavaca. Cemanahuac's field study program is the absolute BEST in Mexico.
