What Students Are Saying
“This course challenged me not only in terms of my language abilities, but what I know about culture. I feel confident that if I visited a Spanish-speaking country, I would be able to survive off of my Spanish.”
– Amanda D.
“I feel like my confidence improved not only in my speaking abilities but also in the topics I was actually speaking about. It was a really fun class to take just to enjoy the process and see the progress I've made.”
– Dylan B.
“I enjoyed actually using my Spanish to learn about different cultures. I really liked that we learned about other places, but my favorite part was how much we practiced speaking Spanish.”
– Alex H.
