There is always another, more casual, more relaxed, more fun version of communicating the everyday, and this includes anger and frustration.

Class: Indigenous linguistic heritage in Mexican Spanish Intermediate May 04 & 11 10:00 to 11:20 am When the Spaniards arrived in what is now Mexico, they encountered a myriad of new realities that they did not know how to name. Most of them kept their original names and spread all over the world, others found different names but also coming from some original language. This legacy is important for Mexican culture, and we want to share it with you in this short course where we will study the origin of some commonly used words and others that vary from region to region.

Beginners Mar 09 & 16 12:00 to 1:20 pm Distance is also learned in another language: for Spanish, there are three levels of proximity and this is always calculated from the perspective of the speaker. For this class, we are going to broaden our perspective of space and practice in a fun way the uses of these demonstratives. SPANISH A LA CARTA. General information: Classes are on Wednesday.

It is true that we would all like to speak like a native, and it is possible if we first learn to listen and to relate to these sounds as if they were new to us. In these sessions, we will practice the pronunciation of Spanish consonant sounds and their graphic representations. SPANISH A LA CARTA. General information: Classes are on Wednesday.

You will be surprised to learn about the extensive use of diminutives and their relationship to culture, politeness and their connection to indigenous languages. intermedios - avanzados Duración: 2 clases, 1 hr 20 SPANISH A LA CARTA.

Intermediate Apr 06 & 13 10:00 to 11:20 am When we are learning a new language we have to restructure the way we think and not try to make the words work the same way they do in our native language. There are some words that can have more than one meaning depending on the context in which they are used: this is very common in any language and there’s no reason to be afraid. What we have to do is, first of all, forget about literal translations for a moment. Then, we have to study the new phrases we are learning and recognize the functions they fulfill. In this course we will practice some verbs that have multiple meanings and functions in Spanish, and that do not necessarily translate the same way in English.

Class: Use of time in Mexico Intermediate Feb 09 & 16 12:00 to 1:20 pm If a Mexican tells you "ahorita vengo", you better find a comfortable seat and relax because it might take more than twenty minutes, or I might not come back at all. Time works differently in Mexico, and this is because other matters such as politeness and, simply, customs are involved. There are many everyday expressions that refer to the time, and in this course we are going to practice with them and review the uses they have. SPANISH A LA CARTA.

Intermediate Feb 23 & Mar 02 12:00 to 1:20 pm The most important thing to learn a language is to consider the context. Surely you have seen advertisements in the streets that contain this word and always in different contexts. In this course, we are going to study and practice these uses, because regardless of how we translate "ya", we should think about how Mexicans use it. SPANISH A LA CARTA.

Jan 12 & 19 12:00 to 1:20 pm Prepositions help us to connect words in our language and, in addition, they complete the meaning of what we say. It is important to keep in mind that not all prepositions in Spanish have the same functions as prepositions in English, so it is very important to practice the uses. In these two classes we will practice with two problematic prepositions: POR and PARA. Through exercises and games you will be able to identify their functions and use them appropriately in a sentence. SPANISH A LA CARTA. General information: Classes are on Wednesday.

Class: Where to emphasize words Beginners - Intermediate Jan 12 & 19 10:00 to 11:20 am Although in Spanish there are words that carry a written accent, it may seem difficult to pronounce a word that you have never seen before. To get to this in a fluent way, it is necessary to know and practice some rules of accentuation and the division of syllables in Spanish: in this two-session course you will learn step by step how to identify the tonic syllable of a word, that is, the syllable of emphasis.

Class: Nouns in Spanish Beginners Jan 26 & Feb 02 10:00 to 11:20 am Do words have gender, why, and is there a problem if I say "la baño"? For beginners, the topic of gendered nouns is very important: as time goes by, it is more difficult to unlearn what has already been learned. Let's review the basic rules and practice with simple sentences (even everyday sentences), and get to know some examples where the meaning changes if it is a masculine or feminine word.
