Here’s the course sequence you might want to follow. As I teach for Spanish oral fluency, not general written grammar exercises, I suggest that you start at the beginning so you will learn to speak fluently. It is suggested that you take at least two LSF courses to establish a basic level of skill.  My classes are 90% in the target language. Profe Linda is a trained expert in a relatively new methodology called TPRS. We storytell, ask questions, and read in Spanish. It’s fun!
 
1. Beginning I - present tense
2. Beginning II - present and past tense
3. Beginning Multilevel - past tense and general
    conversation in present when applicable. A bridge to
    Intermediate I. This is a low-intermediate course
4. Intermediate I - all past tense with minimal present
    only as needed

The following two courses require entry interview or teacher approval.
5. Intermediate II Spanish Tertulia - Past tenses
6. Advanced I Spanish Tertulia - Present & Past Subjunctive
  
Beginning I and II are held Thursday nights

Beginning Multilevel and Intermediate I are held Tuesday nights

Intermediate II Martes Tertulia is held Tuesday nights - Approval only
Advanced I Miércoles Tertulia is held Wednesday nights - Approval only

ALL CLASSES ARE OFFERED VIRTUAL ONLINE
