About

Join us this November and December for an exciting new Spanish Conversation Class, designed for beginners, intermediate, and advanced learners. Each week, we’ll build practical skills through everyday vocabulary, essential grammar, and key phrases you can use right away. Our dynamic lessons combine fun games, engaging activities, and relaxed conversations so you feel confident and motivated. Whether you're just starting out or ready to polish your fluency, you’ll practice with others in a supportive, relaxed environment. Don’t just study—speak, connect, and grow with us!

The fifth class on December 19th will be a special experience and accommodate more people, so if you cannot attend the first four classes, please sign up for the special class through the December 19th event listing. Instructor and Narrator: Esther Gomez is a passionate entrepreneur from Mexico and the founder of the Spanish Fun Program. With over 20 years of teaching experience in Massachusetts, Esther creates vibrant, engaging classes that keep students of all ages motivated, ensuring a relaxed and joyful environment for learning. She has taught Spanish to all ages—from babies and toddlers to adults and seniors—through dynamic and immersive programs. In addition to the Spanish Fun Program, Esther has also been a professor at Bunker Hill Community College for about five years. A professional storyteller, Esther studied theater for five years at La Salle University in Mexico. For seven years, she has led the Bilingual Immersive Storytelling Program, and she has also taken part in professional workshops with storytellers from Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, and Argentina, to keep her craft fresh, learn new techniques, and keep growing as a passionate lifelong learner. Her storytelling programs, presented at libraries, schools, senior centers, and festivals, have reached audiences at events such as the Saugus Community Festival, the Gilman Square Arts & Music Festival in Somerville, the Hispanic Heritage Festival at Medford City Hall, and many summer and fall concerts through the Medford Family Network. These events help build a sense of community and connection. She had the honor of presenting two of her most beloved stories at the Harvard Peabody Museum: The Magic of the Day of the Dead in 2025, and The Inca Empire and the Children of the Sun in April 2026. Esther is also delighted to return to the Harvard Peabody Museum this coming October 24th to present the Day of the Dead storytelling once again. What makes Esther’s storytelling so special? The audience doesn’t just sit and listen—they live the story. From start to finish, they become the stars, engaging with vivid visuals, music, movement, and interaction. Esther loves singing, dancing, laughing, and having fun, and that energy sparks connection. Through this, participants boost their Spanish, build empathy, reduce stress, and foster a true sense of belonging. One of Esther’s favorite parts in her programs is sharing traditions through cultural cooking experiences. These are hands-on activities in which the participants don’t just eat—they prepare the food from scratch based on the story. They roll up their sleeves, measure ingredients, and cook step by step, fully living the story from the first ingredient to a rich, flavorful bite. Join her and embark on this unforgettable, joyful cultural journey! For more information visit: https://spanishfunprogram.com The library strives to be open and accessible for all.
