Description

The English language lacks a wide repertoire of words for internal states of mind and interpersonal relationships. But many other languages have far more words to express the nuances of personal experience. In this class, we’ll learn and discuss dozens of thought-provoking and meaningful untranslatable words from a dozen languages including German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Lakota, Indonesian, Hebrew and more.

Tracy Marks, M.A. is author of four books, translated into nine languages, and has won several poetry and creative writing awards. She is also an experienced counselor. Tracy has taught in continuing ed for 43 years and specializes in literature, creative writing and personal growth courses.
