Mission
Mission
Through these courses, students will reach a level of conversational skill and confidence to communicate in Spanish more quickly. We will accomplish this by omitting non-essential language learning practices and increasing emphasis on regular immersion in the language and culture.
Message to Spanish Levels I & II Students (Sessions August-September 2023)
I want to thank each of you for your contributions and for the opportunity to serve as instructor in the OLLI at Emory program. I hope the learning experience was beneficial and that you will continue to pursue lifelong learning of the Spanish language!
LEVEL I COURSE

LEVEL I COURSE

This 7-week course will teach the basic rules of grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, some exceptions to rules, alphabet, vowel sounds, how to speak in present, past, and future tenses. You will learn how to easily convert many English words to Spanish to greatly increase your vocabulary. You will memorize vocabulary for everyday situations and use common parts of speech to converse in an effective way. There will be no required homework or exams, however, progress is significantly dependent upon regularly immersing yourself in the language through reading, writing, listening, and pronouncing aloud.
LEVEL II COURSE
(Intermediate)
LEVEL II COURSE

Assuming you already have a basic grasp of Spanish grammar, parts of speech, and vocabulary, this course can help you to create more advanced sentences, conjugate verbs in all tenses, and improve vocabulary for more advanced conversations. It will teach you how to ask and answer simple questions about familiar topics and adequately handle simple to more complex situations. The course is designed to advance your skills beyond those learned from the No-Nonsense Conversational Spanish - Level I course. There will be no required homework or exams, however, progress is significantly dependent upon regularly immersing yourself in the language through reading, writing, listening, and pronouncing aloud.
