Beginning lessons:
These lessons are intended for beginners ranging from zero Spanish to a couple years of experience many years ago. Intermediate students may be interested in attending as a refresher, but should understand that the lessons may be too slow for them and are expected to help beginners build their skills with patience.
The lessons follow the episodes of La gringa en el extranjero (The gringa abroad). The short readings with highlighted frequent words will be used as input for grammar recognition exercises and short conversational topics.
We will:
- Cover the short reading together with translations
- Notice some important grammar points and
- Practice a few conversation questions and answers
- Questions and suggestions are always welcome to help you reach your specific goals
Conversation lessons:
These lessons are intended for people with intermediate to advanced knowledge of Spanish. You should have some basic knowledge and background in the language already. The lessons are intended mostly as language maintenance and gradual improvement. When grammar questions arise they will always be addressed, but the main focus is on stretching and using your conversational muscles in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
Participants will converse with a variety of people with varying levels on a wide range of subjects with the support of a professional instructor and fun conversation cards, so you’ll never be at a loss for words.
