Committee for Language

Update: The Academia has recently been renamed the Bucerias Bilingual Cultural Center (BBCC)

With the opening of the Academia Bilingüe, the Amigos of Bucerias Committee for Language will no longer be a functioning committee as of Amigos of Bucerias civil organization.

However a representative from Amigos de Bucerias will, along with other community service organizations, be a part of the advisory committee for the Academia Bilingüe. Our representative to this committee is Dorothy Simpson and our standby is Susan Rowe.

The original goals of the language committee were as follows:

  • To facilitate English language acquisition among Mexican Nationals and Spanish language acquisition among both itinerant and full time Anglo residents of Bucerias.
  • To promote interaction between the Mexican Nationals and Anglos by providing a venue for community education and recreation that encourages bilingual/bicultural exchange.
  • To provide meeting space and lecture opportunities for social service organizations when the language and other education programs permit.

We are very pleased to conclude that all of the above goals are being fulfilled beyond our greatest expectations with the opening of the Academia Bilingüe, thanks in large part to the work and generosity of Judi Conrad.

The Language Academy is on Calle 16 de Septiembre, three houses south of Matamoros street on the east side of the highway. Matamoros is the east/west street immediately north of Carnes del Mundo.
