[News Boquete] Crash Course Spanish Classes begin Thurs, May 2.


Crash Course Spanish Classes with Renny start on a Thursday

May 2 thru June 6th 2024, two days a week (Mon. & Thurs.)

 It is a six-week class.

 This is a fun easy class. If there is any practice or homework, those with busy schedules will love having the option of doing them by email or Whats Ap at their convenience.

_________________________

COST: $199  

 As many people know, Renny, a degreed professional, owned a language school in David under contract with the Panamanian Government giving classes for them, and also had one in Houston. She is now offering several levels of Spanish classes in Boquete, Basic Level,and Intermediate. These are professional instructions with an easy, clear curriculum and the correct sequencing of material.

Location of the class is in Boquete

All of the Spanish Classes are called Crash Course Spanish


**** The first Basic class meets Mondays and Thursdays 9:30 a.m. - 11:30

The Basic Classes will get you speaking fast! 
It shows how the language is organized, and teaches the tricks of the language, the basics: pronunciation, some important cultural notes,
phrases, vocabulary, speaking; fluid short conversations, how to ask and answer questions. You will practice and share tips, create full sentences, and learn this trick, how to speak without conjugating verbs. Workbook is included.

 The Crash Course Intermediate Class

**Class meets Mondays and Thursdays 1:00 p.m. - 3:15 p.m.

You will USE your acquired Spanish language! You will speak in class, get tips for learning to listen and respond, you will have short exchanges, pronounce the difficult, role play, learn word order, expand your vocabulary, and engage in specialized classes to gain better listening skills. You will speak every day, learn a higher use of some verbs without conjugating, create interesting sentences, listen to songs, conduct interviews, and give short speeches. Learn by doing. Each student will translate for someone. It's time to do better at understanding what Spanish speakers are saying BECAUSE… the class also engages in "Train your ear" as well as "Practicing Speaking", all of this as you learn more and more Spanish fast; you build the confidence you need to converse with others.

Workbook is included.


Pre-requisite for the **Intermediate Class :  you MUST be at the intermediate level of speech, no exceptions

 

**Intermediate Class To enter this class the following will describe your level of speech:

You respond to simple, direct questions or requests for information, can ask a few questions concerning needs and wants, and are able to express personal meaning by relying heavily on learned or re-combined phrases, repeating, or rephrasing what you hear around you. You know short and sometimes incomplete sentences in the present tense. At times you know you state things incorrectly but gain confidence because the Spanish speaker "got" what you were trying to say. You may be hesitant or inaccurate, whereby frequent misunderstandings arise.  When called upon to handle a variety of topics and perform serious functions you operate at about a 40% to 50% success range, and can sometimes respond in intelligible sentences, but cannot sustain full sentence exchanges. You know the meanings/translations (not the conjugations) of at least 75 verbs.  

To express interest in this class, please respond to this information at the following email:   rennykranich@gmail.com

Essential Guide To Safe Well Water Maintenance

If your home relies on well water, ensuring its safety and quality is your direct responsibility. Contaminated well water can harbor harmful bacteria, viruses, and chemicals that pose serious health risks. This comprehensive guide will arm you with the knowledge and best practices to maintain your well and ensure your family's drinking water is safe.

Why Well Water Maintenance Matters

  • Health Protection: Well water must be free from contaminants that can cause illness, particularly for vulnerable populations like infants, the elderly, or those with compromised immune systems.
  • Long-Term Well Functionality: Preventative maintenance prolongs the life of your well system, reducing costly repairs and replacements.
  • Peace of Mind: Staying on top of well inspection and management allows you to trust the water you drink and use.

Key Steps for Maintaining Your Well

1. Well Construction and Location

  • Professional Installation: Hire licensed well drillers to ensure proper construction, preventing surface water contamination.
  • Safe Site: The well should be situated away from potential contamination sources like livestock areas, septic systems, or chemical storage.
  • Uphill Placement: Wells installed on a slope should be uphill from contamination sources.

2. Regular Well Inspections

  • Annual Checkups: Schedule yearly inspections with a qualified well contractor to assess your system's overall condition.
  • Look for Changes: Monitor your well for any signs of damage, including cracks in the casing, a damaged or missing well cap, or pooling water near the wellhead.
  • Professional Assistance: If you detect any issues, contact a well professional immediately for repair.

3. Water Testing

  • Annual Testing (Minimum): Test your water for bacteria and nitrates at least once a year with a certified lab.
  • Contamination Suspicions: Immediately test your water if you notice changes in taste, odor, or color.
  • Nearby Activities: Test more frequently if activities near your well increase the risk of contamination (e.g., agriculture, new construction).

4. Maintaining the Wellhead

  • Secure and Sanitary Well Cap: Ensure your well cap is tightly sealed and free of cracks. It should have a vermin-proof screen over the vent.
  • Ground Slope: The ground around the well should slope away to prevent water pooling.
  • Keep it Clear: Maintain a clutter-free area around the well to limit pest habitats and simplify inspection.

5. Protecting Your Well from Contamination

  • Safe Distances: Keep known contamination sources (septic systems, livestock, fertilizer storage) well away from your well, following your local regulations for distances.
  • Mindful Chemical Use: Avoid using pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers near the well.
  • Proper Waste Disposal: Never dispose of hazardous, chemical, or medical waste near your well.

Additional Tips

  • Well Records: Keep detailed records of well construction, testing results, and any repairs or maintenance.
  • Treatment Systems: If water tests indicate contamination, consider installing a suitable water treatment system.
  • Unused Wells: Decommission abandoned wells according to professional guidelines to protect groundwater.

The Importance of Professional Well Contractors

Always seek the expertise of licensed well contractors and pump installers for construction, repairs, and in-depth inspections. They possess the knowledge and tools to keep your well system operating effectively and safely.

By diligently following these guidelines, you'll significantly safeguard your family's health and ensure the longevity of your well water supply.
