Course Description

Instructor: Reed Crouch

Assuming you have a basic grasp of Spanish grammar, parts of speech, and vocabulary, this course can help you to create more advanced sentences, conjugate verbs in all tenses, and improve vocabulary for more advanced conversations. It will teach you how to ask and answer simple questions about familiar topics and adequately handle simple to more complex situations. The course is designed to advance your skills beyond those learned from the No-Nonsense Conversational Spanish - Level I course. There will be no required homework or exams, however, progress is significantly dependent upon immersing yourself in the language through reading, writing, listening, and pronouncing aloud.
