In this ongoing class, learners will practice their conversational Spanish skills by discussing different topics related to Spanish culture like hobbies, places, climate, food, sports, activities, etc. This class is for students that can speak and understand intermediate to advanced Spanish, even if their grammar is not perfect. This is not a class for beginners.

The weekly discussions will be guided by the teacher. We will begin the meeting with greetings and introductions. Discussion questions will be asked to get the conversation going. We will discuss a different theme each week, as per the schedule below. During class, the teacher will help students with pronunciation and correct grammar as needed. Learners will have ample opportunities to speak and practice their Spanish conversational skills. The goal is to have fun with others while learning in a safe classroom environment. If you have questions about your particular student's skill level, I am here to help! Just send me a message! 

The weekly topics are listed below, though our discussions will not be limited to these topics alone. During each class, we will cover basic skills, such as greetings, feelings/moods, correct grammar/pronunciation, and so on.
