Summary
Course Description:
Boost your confidence in Spanish with this short intermediate (A2/B1) book club that will deepen your understanding of the Spanish language and Spanish-speaking cultures. With this fun story, you will learn new expressions and expand your vocabulary as you discuss the reading with your instructor and other participants.
In this four-week course, participants will read, analyze and discuss the detective story Lola detective: lejos de casa by Lourdes Miquel and Neus Sans. Each week participants will discuss questions about the story, examine how the story, examine how the story is told and learn about festivals, food, and Spanish life in Madrid. We will also discuss immigration from Latin America to Spain.
Course format:
Discussions will happen in weekly one-hour live sessions led by an experienced instructor and include a mix of small group discussions and discussions with the entire class. The live online sessions begin one week after the scheduled course start date to allow time to work through the first unit of learning material in preparation for the live conversation practice.
Participants will read an average of 10 pages weekly, watch cultural videos and work through provided additional materials that will increase cultural knowlege and build vocabulary and grammar skills.
Course materials become available online on the scheduled course start date and remain accessible for one month after the course ends.
Book purchase required. Reading guide, and additional online materials included in the price.
Prerequisite: Spanish 4 or equivalent. Take the Spanish 4 placement test.
