Spanish
This month advanced students will be writing letters and exchanging information about culture with a school in a Spanish-speaking country. This will be an incredible experience for students of language acquisition and develop authentic cultural connections. Communication is the foundation of culture. However, once you open the door and really start to discover the language and culture of a people, the experience becomes more enriching and enthralling. For beginner’s levels, we will be talking about family and holidays and comparing our traditions with Spanish speaking countries.
