The best way to appreciate living in a new culture is to be a real part of it!

Let’s face it: if you don’t understand the language spoken where you live, you going to be missing out on a lot!

Learning a new language can be challenging, but you’d be surprised at how well you can get by if you learn just a few of the basics. It is said that with a vocabulary of only two hundred words, most languages can be spoken well enough to at least make yourself understood. And an experienced teacher can help get you there fast.

Finca La Maya is delighted to welcome the esteemed Senora Marilyn Samaniego

who was previously a teacher in University of Panama, who is now teaching two classes per week since January 2012.

Classes are held in La Maya’s classroom facility in San Carlos on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, from 10 a.m. to noon (with a coffee break).  Lessons are $4 per person, per class.  All are welcome, especially beginners, so come join the fun…just show up!

Celebrate Leap Year by putting on your chef’s apron, cooking up your favorite chili and submitting it to the true ‘taste test’.  Last year we had over 80 people tasting and judging the eight chilies which were served, and for the first time ever a woman walked away with the grand prize of $100.00.  Congratulations to Rene Schafer! (Her recipe is no secret.  It can be found in the PAL cookbook. )  So if anyone out there, man or woman, is interested in cooking and submitting a chili for the contest and the chance to win $100.00 graciously donated by Playacomunity.com, which will publish the winning recipe.  Just send a message to the CASA email, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , to let us know.  To round out the meal, all those who are not cooking a chili, please bring a dish to share and everyone bring your own beverage(s).  We will begin at 5:00, and there is a charge of $3.00 per member and $5.00 non-member.

You will have the opportunity to join CASA on site and then take advantage of the special price!  Membership has its advantages!
