We will do a review of ser & estar on the first day of the course which are the two verbs chapters 1 & 2 cover. In addition to using the book in the class, we’ll be doing web exercises on reading passages and on the grammar issues covered in the book. Although we’ll pay attention to Spanish grammar, the main focus of the course is conversation, as its title suggests.
