December is Learn a Foreign Language Month!

○ Advertisement for Spanish Cafe. A drawn group of four people are placed towards the bottom of the image. They only have drawn mouths and do not have eyes or noses. The background of the image is divided into three, horizontal sections. From top to bottom: red with dark red checkered print, yellow, and green with dark green wavy stripes. Two speech bubbles are sitting above the group of people. The right one says “Cafe en Espanol” in red letters and the one on the left says “Spanish Cafe” in red letters.
