Course Description

This 20-hour group course will challenge you to organize your thoughts clearly, defend your opinions, and engage in structured debates, all while refining your grammar, vocabulary, and argumentation skills. Through real-world topics, guided debates, and advanced grammar applications, you’ll improve your ability to express complex ideas, discuss social and global issues, and confidently interact with native speakers.

​By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
✔ Understand and discuss complex topics on both abstract and concrete subjects
✔ Engage in fluent, spontaneous conversations with native speakers
✔ Present well-structured arguments and analyze different viewpoints
✔ Use advanced subjunctive forms (present, imperfect, present perfect, and past perfect)
✔ Debate controversial topics while improving logical reasoning in Spanish
✔ Express opinions clearly using advanced grammar structures and vocabulary
✔ Write persuasive essays and structured arguments on relevant topics

Weekly Topics:

Our immersive communicative approach means you’ll be speaking Spanish from day one. Classes are taught almost entirely in Spanish to maximize your exposure and fluency. We follow a Flipped Classroom model, so you’ll review short materials at home before each session, leaving class time for real conversation and guided practice.
