Beginning Spanish Grammar & Conversation (Zoom)
Summer (11 to 14.5 hrs) | Available (Membership Required)
Using a helpful textbook and specially curated YouTube videos, Mr. Kaplan teaches Spanish in a fun, interactive, and very effective way. This class will focus on the present, past, future, conditional, and other tenses and commands. 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 yearlong class. Each semester picks up where the last semester ended. 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.
This course will consist of discussions between the Study Leader and participants.
