I’m planning an Adv. Spanish grammar class intended for majors and minors (university level, approximately 6th-7th semester of study). Students of Spanish, what would you like to learn in such a class? What’s difficult for you?
Mil gracias por vuestras sugerencias!
I took AP Spanish Language last year, which I’m guessing was about the same level as your class will be. One of the most valuable/interesting things we did was a unit on false cognates and things that don’t translate well from Spanish to English. For example, we learned that aplicarse isn’t the right verb when you’re talking about applying to college, all the different ways to say "become" in different contexts (hacerse, convertirse en), other things like that. We also learned lots of common phrases and idioms, which was very useful in conversation as well as writing for the AP exam.
Hola! Yo estoy tocando una clase de espanol ahora! (i dunno if i said that right)
but great idea about the class! you can teach vocab and speaking exercises and like maybe have short spanish movies to learn understanding and like assingments where you speak in spanish to practice speaking…thats what you were asking right? I hope that help!
Buenas tardes! Adios!
