Spanish: Conversant

COURSE

Course description

Do you have a basic knowledge of Spanish and are looking to progress further, or have you recently completed Spanish: Beginner?  This intermediate course will help you improve your speaking abilities by giving you ample opportunity to practice conversation with other fellow students.  An increased emphasis on grammar will also strengthen your writing skills.

Learning objectives

In this course you will:

  • learn the present perfect and past perfect tenses using the past participle
  • appropriately use expressions with the verb hacer related to time: how long something “has been” going on and “how long ago” something happened
  • learn the subjunctive mood, verbs that trigger it, and how to use it
  • learn the future tense, the conditional tense, and the imperative mood
  • use more advanced vocabulary for a variety of situations
  • carry on a conversation using advanced grammar structures
  • improve your writing skills in Spanish by reading more complex stories and poems
  • write synopsis of the material read
  • discuss and express an opinion on the material read

We encourage students to participate in our language courses more than one time in order to truly learn the material taught over 10 lessons. It also gives you additional exposure to varying activities within each topic.

World Language courses are offered three times per year:

  • September (registration opens in June)
  • January (registration opens in November)
  • April (registration opens in November)

Textbook:

Complete Spanish Step-by-Step, by Barbara Bregstein with McGraw-Hill (mandatory).
