Class Description: 

This is an advanced level conversation course that is conducted entirely in Spanish, including any grammatical explanations. Students should be prepared to speak only in Spanish. The focus in this course shifts from being understood to communicating with precision: choosing the right words, expressing nuance, and engaging with complex ideas as they arise spontaneously in discussion.

Topics are open-ended and may include current events, ethical questions, and cultural and historical themes. This course will develop the student's ability to speak and write at length.Students may be assigned to prepare presentations for class or to peer-edit other students' writing.

Is this course right for you? Are you comfortable telling a story about something that happened to you? Can you maintain a spontaneous conversation that moves between past, present, and future? Can you follow a podcast in Spanish without subtitles? If so, then Spanish 6 will give you the challenge you're looking for.
