Student Martha Rico was a part of the first cohort to take Nunez’s Core class in Spanish in the summer of 2025. Rico speaks English but believed she would learn better receiving instruction in her native language.
“Sometimes it’s hard to understand everything that’s being taught and I didn’t want to go the wrong way, so I took the course in Spanish,” said Rico. “The translator did a really good job. If you have any questions, he explains again in a different way so you understand clearly.”
“It’s never too late to go and do something that you really love,” said Rico, who took the course in order to play a more active role in her husband’s remodeling business. “If you’re going to do construction, go to Nunez and take the class.”
