 There's a laundromat in Inwood where customers can now learn English during the spin cycle. Kimberly Richardson went to today's class and is here now with more. Well at this spot, it's also a place to learn the basics. The ABCs of the English language. Green is what color? Verde. En Españoles Verde. Okay, muy bien. Sometime during the wash cycle as this load is drying and he is almost done sorting, there's a change going on here subtle but significant. Camisas, right? Shirts. Part classroom, part laundry in the back corner of Magic Touch is where you'll find the newly created Inwood Laundromat Language Institute. Hector Canon came up with the idea after seeing people in his community, many or new Spanish speaking immigrants struggle with even basic things. Having problems, for example, with the machines, trying to understand the wash, the rinse and all those details or even sometimes just asking for change, you know. And so Hector decided to hold free English classes here. This is the first. Martha Mendez didn't hesitate to sign up. I wanted to take the classes because I know that it's the best way to get ahead in this country and prepare myself for the future. Hector is an English professor, is an artist. One of five taking part in the residency program at the Laundromat Project, the community-based public art non-profit that is backing this effort. We as an organization believe that art is transformational and with access to creativity, you are able to dream bigger, live bigger lives. For now, it's baby steps. Just the basics, rewarding for both student and teacher. Just by learning a new language is a way of empowering people to say, you know what, I can do it.
