Halloween, celebrated on October 31st, is a uniquely American holiday that combines the spookiness of the supernatural with the celebration of autumn.

From its ancient Celtic roots to the modern-day festivities, this group class will explore the story of Halloween, how it has changed over time, and what it is like today in America. You will also discover the significance of traditions like carving jack-o'-lanterns, trick-or-treating, bobbing for apples, and other Halloween terms and expressions in English.

This class is designed for everyone, whether you're a Halloween enthusiast or simply curious about the holiday's fascinating past. There is no need to fear any ghosts or goblins, either!
