Hello! I wanted to ask how I can join these classes. Is there a way to do so on line/live /zoom etc? I’m in California.
Can I subscribe to get the class content? but how to get papers or material handed out . . You may have posted something already about this, I wasn’t sure if this is the format to use to ask! Thanks in advance,
Anna G,
Currently, the Online Conversational Garifuna Language Class is done via Zoom. Some of the students are also in California, as well as Texas, New York and even Germany.
We are halfway through the course at this point, so I don’t know what arrangements can be made.
The best thing to do is to contact the Teacher, Mr. Milton Guity Sr. He is available on Facebook and can be reached there. I included his phone number in a post on the latest edition of the course. Here is the link. https://beinggarifuna.com/?p=1625
