La Hora Del Café – Open and Guided Conversation in Spanish

Description

Practice and continue developing your Spanish language skills in a relaxed, friendly ambience. Each meeting, we will spend two pleasant hours discussing current events and topics of personal interest such as travel, friendship, food/restaurants, childhood memories and gratitude, as friends do when they gather in café to talk about the world and their lives. We will also read short personal essays as well as brief newspaper articles from the Spanish speaking world. These will serve as catalysts to stimulate conversation and vocabulary development. To continue developing the listening skill, each class we’ll listen to a new song with the lyrics and to brief captioned videos from a variety of sources in Spain and Latin America.
