In this ongoing casual conversational club, students can practice listening and speaking Spanish with a fluent speaker.  After more than 7 years in Ecuador, I have an advanced fluidity in conversational Spanish, and I would love to help others keep their Spanish fresh as their conversational guide and companion!  

Students should have at least a base vocabulary of Spanish words to practice speaking simple phrases and conversations.

Students can take the grammar and vocabulary skills they have learned in other courses and practice them here.  The atmosphere will be stress-free, where learners can practice listening to others and participate via speaking when ready and comfortable. 

Participating in a weekly discussion club like this will help everyone retain their Spanish skills and gain confidence in their speaking and comprehension abilities.

In each session, students can expect to practice greetings, how they are feeling/doing, favorite things, and daily events on a basic level. There will be some repetition to help retain the language.

Learners may choose to practice skills they need for other formal learning situations, practice phrases and vocabulary, or talk about current events. As a conversational club, the conversation will be largely student-directed.

Learners can expect to gain language retention, fluency, and confidence through consistent practice in an immersed but relaxed atmosphere.
