In this fast-paced, communicative course you’ll master everyday language functions while soaking up the colors, sounds, and flavors of Spanish-speaking culture. Morning language labs focus on speaking and listening, and afternoon cultural missions put new phrases to the test in cafés, markets, and city streets.
