General Spanish B2

About this course

Develop the fluent, accurate Spanish needed for professional and academic life. You will argue a case and debate, master the imperfect and pluperfect subjunctive, discuss hypothetical and past situations, and adapt your register for meetings, presentations and formal writing.
