Intermediate Spanish Grammar & Conversation, Year 2 (Zoom)
Summer (14 hrs. or more) | Available (Membership Required)
Using a helpful textbook, specially curated YouTube videos, and class conversation, Mr. Kaplan teaches Spanish in a fun, interactive, and very effective way. This class is a continuation of the prior year-long class. New students are very welcome to join. Students should already have a good understanding of basic Spanish grammar, including noun gender, adjectives, pronunciation, present tense, past tense (preterite and imperfect), and future and conditional tenses. This class will review previous topics including commands and then will continue with the subjunctive, more advanced Spanish grammar and extensive conversation. No homework or tests. Just sit back and listen as we do grammar exercises, watch Spanish language videos, and speak in Spanish to each other.
This is a year-long class. Each semester picks up where the last semester ended and will continue through until the Fall 2026 semester. It’s an easy way to learn how to speak the second most spoken language in America. Learning a foreign language has also been shown to delay or reduce the onset of dementia.
