LEARN KEY SPANISH PHRASES IN JUST A FEW HOURS
WITH A COMMAND SPANISH COURSE AT SCC

    The St. Charles Community College Department of Workforce Development is offering beginner Spanish language courses through its Command Spanish program.  The classes will aid students in learning specific Spanish phrases that they can use in the workplace.

    “With more than 42 million Hispanics now living in the United States, the need to bridge the communication barrier with Spanish-speaking individuals is more important than ever,” Lita Pener, director of Workforce Development, said.
