Help Learning about Hispanic Resources?
Or Help Learning Spanish?
Or Hispanics Learning English as a Second Language (ESL)?[I've just started building this page primarily for my own convenience, as someone anxious to learn enough Spanish to be able to be friendly, warm and hospitable with Hispanic people I meet... and someday be able to share the good news, in Spanish... or at least be able to share a Spanish tract or Gospel of John in Spanish.]
And if it's at all helpful for anyone else (?), I'll try to post the best links I find, at LatinoChristians.com.
LatinoChristians.com Purpose: ...to expedite city-wide efforts to connect with our brothers & sisters who speak Spanish. We need all kinds of help in doing this -- connecting with Hispanic pastors and leaders, translation work, connecting to key resources for Latinos, web-development in Spanish, and in general finding ways to become ONE in Christ.
Good example links:
