Taken courses elsewhere but really improved my vowels and fluency. Vocalisation is prof's passion. Surprised by geography and culture of four countries. La siesta del martes by Garcia Marquez was awesome. Fun class. Good groups.

Sorry Maymester is over. Learned a lot about vocalisation amd really enjoyed talking in Spanish every day with everyone. Amazing readings about Spaniards in FLorida and down the Amazon. Had never before ordered in Spanish at Mexican restaurant and will go back there.
