For Beginner Speakers & Beyond! (A1-B1)
Welcome to our Spanish Conversation Club! This club was started with our beginner students in mind and will be focused on improving your vocabulary and conversational skills with the help acclaimed learner's podcasts, such as Notes in Spanish, catchy musical tunes and telenovelas such as the world famous series Destinos. While it's nice to watch the entire soap opera from start to finish, it's not necessary, so feel free to drop in at any time!
Destinos
Destinos immerses students in everyday situations with native speakers from Mexico, Spain, Argentina, and Puerto Rico through the entertaining story of Don Fernando’s intriguing past. Every episode of Destinos covers new grammatical concepts, vocabulary, and cultural practices. This cheesy 90's soap opera is full of over dramatic facial expressions, sappy romantic subplots and clothes that would have made even the 80s cringe, but that's what makes it so loveable and such a great choice when it comes to learning Spanish!
The episodes and workbook pages will be available to you once you sign up for the session. Don't forget to watch the assigned episode in full and complete the comprehension activity sheet prior to the start of the session. All classes will be conducted almost entirely in Spanish.
