This intermediate-level course is designed for students who have completed Spanish for Children B or an equivalent introductory course. The course is geared toward 6th–8th graders; 9th graders are welcome.
One of the best ways to learn about a culture—its values, fears, and traditions—is by reading its stories. MS Conversational Spanish is designed to expand the intermediate Spanish-student’s knowledge of the language by increasing vocabulary and honing adeptness with grammatical forms, while simultaneously rooting in the student an intuitive appreciation of hispanic culture.
By the end of this course, the successful student will be familiar with 16 hispanic fables, will be able to fluently read intermediate-level Spanish prose, and will be able to use intermediate-level Spanish grammar in spontaneous conversations and in skit creation and performance.
This course will run in a 3-year cycle, rotating through stories from Mexico, stories from Spain, and stories from Latin America.
As much as possible, this course will take place in Spanish.
Required Materials: Books and supplies are not included in the purchase of the course. These resources are listed to help inform your decision-making as you make course selections and build your course schedule. Please reach out to the instructor if you have any questions about materials.

Annice Hoffman holds a BA in Anthropology from Penn State University. As a young adult, curiosity and a desire to find her neighbor in the wider world led her to spend one summer abroad in Mexico City and another with missionary friends of the family in Paraguay. Following university, she spent a year teaching English at a Christian school in the Dominican Republic, where her Spanish blossomed. After further adventures as an au pair in England and English teacher in Prague, Annice made her way back to Pennsylvania, where she met her future husband. When their first child came, she transitioned from teacher to stay-at-home-mom and, eventually, to homeschool mom. A chance event introduced Annice to the work of Classical Academic Press–and the meaning of Home Education began to clarify; as Classical educators, we were not essentially fleeing from mainstream culture (her move to home schooling had first come as an instinct to protect), but rather racing toward Goodness, Truth, and Beauty.
Annice lives in Erie, Pennsylvania with her husband and three children. Her hobbies are reading, walking, learning other languages, and watching her kids grow.
