Description

Every coffee farmer dreams that this year's harvest will be a good one. In Colombia, farmers meet regularly to discuss the harvest-over a cup of coffee, naturally. Coffee is likewise a frequent centerpiece when Colombians want to make guests feel at home. All of which makes for a valuable collection of Spanish lessons that highlight the fine arts of hospitality, cooperation, and teamwork. Viewers are shown scenes of coffee growing, processing, and packaging-in addition to the crowning of a regional "Coffee Queen"-that help develop vocabulary and usage while building awareness of a vital aspect of Latin American culture.
