This conversational study group enables students with some exposure to Spanish to improve their fluency, pronunciation, and language skills.

It focuses on everyday vocabulary and "street" Spanish. The study group uses the book, Spanish for Dummies, 2nd edition. One hour of homework is required for each class. Those who practice daily will find it easier to learn greetings, directions, and how to communicate with their Hispanic neighbors.
