Mexican Encounters: Many Mexicos (C1)

Mexico is the largest Spanish-speaking nation on Earth. Its name evokes Mayan pyramids and Aztec sacrifices, lilting corridos and soaring baroque cathedrals. But the reality of this vast country outstrips even the legends, encompassing 4,000 years of history, art, and complex social movements that were multicultural before the term even existed. In this course, you'll take your Spanish to the next level as you explore Mexico's cultural richness, learning about its pre-Hispanic empires, tourist sites, gastronomy, murals, cinema, literature, and sprawling, chaotic capital.
