SPANISH FOR SOCIAL SERVICES  Fall 2011

With its highly specialized material, this course propelled me to learn more about Hispanic culture and American culture alike. Using industry-specific vocabulary and proven sociological models, I learned how to both offer and receive everyday social services while speaking Spanish.

  

FRENCH GRAMMAR AND COMPOSITION  Fall 2011  

In this class, I learned how to write in a gamut of styles in French; I wrote a descriptive piece, a narrative piece, and a "letter to the editor" tackling a serious issue. In order to write these compositions, I studied specific grammar points in great depth and learned a host of new, specialized vocabulary.

  

INTRODUCTION TO HISPANIC LITERATURE  Spring 2011

As my first serious Spanish-language literature course, this class represented my first foray into literary analysis in another language. I investigated robust poetry, dark war-time anecdotes, and a full stage script in precise and enlightening depth.

 

HONORS RHETORIC AND CIVIC LIFE  Spring 2011

In this class, I learned to be critical of the words, pictures, and media around me. I also got to create some of my own; here I discovered the power of blogging, wrote an issue-based essay, and delivered a speech. 

 

IBERIAN CIVILIZATION  Fall 2010

Although this course was taught in English, the deep understanding for the history and culture of Spain that I gained from this course has proved valuable time and again. As my studies in Spanish continue, I continually see the indelible ties between Spanish literature, art, politics, and the rich culture from which they came.
