<div><STRONG>Intensive Summer Spanish Institute - Aug 2011<br>
<br>
</STRONG><FONT class=mediumtxt>I wanted to let <FONT size=4>you all know</FONT> that ISSI 2011 will be happening again this year at Lake Tahoe Community College. <FONT size=4><br>
</FONT>It's a great <FONT size=4>week-long</FONT> experience for all learning levels. <br>
<br>
Registration begins Monday, May 23. If you want to attend, don't delay in registering ASAP, beginning the 23rd. <FONT size=4><br>
</FONT>Classes fill up fast (possibly within just days).<FONT size=4> It´s very affordable and you have a variety of lodging to choose from: hotels, rentals, camping.</FONT><br>
<br>
Dates of ISSI this year: Aug 8-12.<br>

<br>
If you are interested, you should read about the various levels available and determine where you think you would fit. <FONT size=4><br>
</FONT>That way, you'll be ready to register.<FONT size=4> You need to fill out a college application before you can register for specific classes. I think you can <br>
do that before the 23rd, but I can´t remember exactly if you can.</FONT><br>
<br>
You can register at a lower <FONT size=4>class level</FONT> than you think you are at<FONT size=4>,</FONT> if needed, because as room permits, they allow you to <FONT size=4><br>
</FONT>change to a more appropriate level once instruction begins.<br>
<br>
It's a great program. I attended as a student for two years. Then <FONT size=4>three years ago, I started teaching </FONT>"breakout sessions" on both <FONT size=4><br>
</FONT>sea turtles and gray whales<FONT size=4>. For the last two years, I´ve added a week long</FONT> lecture series on Conservation and Natural <FONT size=4><br>
</FONT>History of Baja California (see my website <FONT size=4><A href="http://www.lasecomujeres.org">www.lasecomujeres.org</A> </FONT>for more info).<FONT size=4> I´ll be back again this year.</FONT><br>
<br>
Hope to see you there! </FONT><br>
