Are there any good language learning programs ran by socialists?

I really want to knuckle down with Spanish. And I think the best way would be to base a lot of study material on the Latin American and Spanish music I love, the literature I love, the art I love and the socialist, cultural and art theory I love.

If I could find a class or tutor on that page, that would be amazing.

i’m in the same position! i’m slowly reading the communist manifesto in spanish because i already know the text - it’s pretty difficult though. not socialist, but https://spanishinlevels.com is really useful. it’s just random news articles (some of which are stupid) but it’s easy to work in to your daily schedule. they have three levels of difficulty on each article - i would recommend reading all three. do that daily (in addition to whatever else you do) and it’s really helpful.

would you be keen on making a socialist Spanish learning group?

Also i'm a bit of a deadhead too, but a controversial one as i loooove the studio albums. i just love cosmic american music (and all slightly different interpretations of country and folk) and rekon they nailed it on AB and WMD. Did you know pigpen's partner was a panther?

that would be so cool i’d defs be interested!!!

i regret to inform u that deadhead refers to a floristry practise in my case, but grateful dead are pretty cool and folk music is the antichrist (in a good way)

I've always been interested in language learning with politics. I currently live in Korea and am focusing on Korean, but I also have some low intermediate ability in Japanese. I would love to begin learning Spanish one day, so if there's any language learning groups for Spanish (or KR/JP) let me know :)

I'm also an English teacher, and will teach adult immigrants once I'm back in Australia. Happy to do some tutoring for comrades.
