The purpose of this course is to further the students' conversational skills in Spanish.  In addition to new vocabulary, the past tense, continuation of pronunciation and other useful grammatical points will be covered.  As in the first course, there will be great emphasis on developing the students' speaking ability.  The students will create their own dialogues on specified topics, and will be responsible for several readings and several short compositions. Students should plan for a minimum of four hours per week of additional practice outside the classroom.
