Spanish Workshop Summer 2025

Welcome to VUB Spanish! 

This workshop is designed to prepare you for an introductory college Spanish class. We only have 12 hours (plus tutoring hours if you choose to use them), but we have the opportunity to build a very useful foundation for further study. Language classes have the reputation of being difficult and boring. (Some of them are, trust me. Currents and Trends in 16th Century French Literature? Far, far worse than it sounds.) But this class is NOT that class! It was created to give you an advantage in beginning college study. Even if you are not taking a foreign language, this workshop will be valuable in teaching you how to prepare for a class - online or in person - with very detailed content, how to organize yourself, how to feel comfortable with uncertainty and things outside your expertise, and the value of persisting.  

I have included videos from the Language Tutor to provide very good explanations of many concepts we will cover. They are not longer than about 10 minutes and are worth your time. Be sure to check them out.

Every challenge, every stumble is an opportunity to learn and grow. We are a species that truly does learn best from our mistakes. Embrace the process and step into the challenge! Trust me, it will be worth it.

Welcome to class!
