Students will also be able to understand basic information intended for tourists.

Prerequisite: Beginner II
Designed for students with a basic knowledge of the language, this course focuses on the development of fluency. Students will expand their ability to carry out simple conversations on a limited range of topics. Previous grammar concepts are reviewed (including review of preterite, preterite vs. imperfect), and more complicated structures (including present perfect, conditional, and subjunctive) are introduced in context. Upon completion of the course students will be able to initiate and maintain predictable conversations and understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters.

"I have taken Spanish classes with one of your competitors several times over the past years and this class and instructor has been the best. I have learned so much with Angie because she explains the reason for saying something such as Buenos Dias vs. Buenas noches. Excellente!!!"
Beginner I Student"Francisco is my favorite instructor thus far. He made class exciting and engaging, and his personalized way of instruction really motivated me to learn. As someone who works full time and attends this class in the evening, that is really important to me. even on my most tired evenings, Francisco was able to keep me engaged. 10/10 instructor."
Intermediate II Student"I really appreciate the instructor’s hard work and dedication to her students. I love the fact that this class has helped me refine my language skills in Spanish, and I feel more confident speaking in Spanish with other teachers in a professional setting."
