Register for Spanish

This conversation class is designed for anyone who would like to learn, or continue learning, basic or intermediate conversational Spanish. It’s open both to newcomers and those who have taken the class previously, with an emphasis on using the spoken word and structure. The class will also include basic grammar skills and reading and writing from our workbook.

The focus will be on acquiring Spanish skills and enjoying learning. We have fun activities, and we also have Spanish-speaking guests. We go on excursions to reinforce Spanish skills and have a good time!
