Course Description: This fun and interactive small-group course is designed for high school students who have studied Spanish at school and wish to practice and reinforce their skills. While social distancing mandates are in place, the class will be offered online and will help students to retain and build on their knowledge of Spanish during this special time.
The class will provide students a chance to both review structures they’ve previously learned and expand their knowledge learning new vocabulary and structures while strengthening comprehension and speaking ability through dynamic, conversational activities.
