ADVANCED INTERMEDIATE SPANISH

This level covers the gaps between our INTERMEDIATE classes and our ADVANCED discussion class. Students do weekly assigned readings in Spanish (short stories, articles), or listen to podcast episodes in Spanish and discuss them in class along with whatever other interesting topics arise. Grammar covered varies widely, but commonly includes the perfect tenses, progressive tenses, the subjunctive, the imperative, irregular verbs, prepositions, direct and indirect object pronouns, preposition use, and the passive voice.

Advanced Intermediate courses feature readings on and discussions of a variety of contemporary issues, with supporting vocabulary lists and corresponding grammar units.
