Prerequisite: SPA 213 Intensive interpersonal discussion of relevant topics in Spanish, with the goal of developing greater fluency in speaking. Relevant chapters of books and magazine articles in Spanish will be read, vocabulary practiced, and then intensively discussed to facilitate acquisition of fluency.

Throughout the semester, we will regularly return to previous discussion topics, to reinforce learning.
