Conversaciones

This course is designed to provide an opportunity to speak and listen to Spanish in a comfortable nonjudgmental atmosphere. It is for those who already speak Spanish with some fluency but who don’t have all the opportunities to converse that they would like. Each week, students will be provided with questions, readings and song lyrics to stimulate conversation on the week’s topic. This term will include transportation, food, exploration and more, but it’s always OK to stray from the theme. Grammar and vocabulary questions that arise will be answered, but the class is about enjoying conversation in Spanish. Students should spend some time with the materials supplied before each class. During each class, we’ll talk in a whole group and in breakout rooms of three or four.

NOTE: This is not a Spanish course per se, and it won’t work for beginners; it’s meant for those who have achieved enough fluency to listen to others, converse freely and enjoy readings and songs that reflect Hispanic culture. Translations are provided for readings and song lyrics but not discussion questions. Those who have been in previous Conversaciones courses will find new themes, readings and music.
