Without the ability to read, write, speak, and understand the primary language of a new home, it's difficult to live the life we want.
There is a misconception that immigrants don't want to learn English ... that is FALSE!
They do! The problem is access.
Barriers like family and work schedule, transportation, cost, and availability are a few of the hurdles that immigrants face in pursuit of language study.
A primary mission of Merida Inc is to provide language programs that remove barriers and make learning English possible for all.
Language and Literacy
Merida Inc provides free, live, online instruction to adult English learners.
Adults can learn in the comfort of their own homes, removing barriers such as transportation, childcare, high costs, access, and time.
Not only are classes free to adult language learners, but the textbook/materials, too!

Vocabulary Building
Vocabulary is the foundation of learning a new language. Increasing our vocabulary toolbox increases our ability to communicate effectively and improves reading comprehension.
Grammar Development
Meaningful grammar instruction is essential for adult English learners. It helps ensure clear communication, enabling them to convey precise meanings, avoid misunderstandings, and build confidence as it enhances fluency, something adult learners place high value on.
Adult Themes
Most language acquisition programs were designed for K12 and center around vocabulary that children use. Our program was made in tandem with our adult learners so all themes are applicable to their lives.
Current Bilingual Spanish Instruction
A pillar of Merida Inc is the importance and recognition of being multilingual. Our current capabilities include bilingual Spanish support. Long range goals of Merida include adding additional language support in instruction.
Veo que no es solamente de aprender el inglés. Usando u oyendo mi lengua me transformó la mente, el corazón.
