Anda! ─ Curso Intermedio / Intermediate Course

When we walk, we have time to talk.

The natural human pace is walking. We can run or sprint, but not for long. Eventually, we are exhausted and have to stop. But we can walk almost endlessly. It is actually amazing how far we can go when we walk, ultimately much farther than when we run.

The ¡Anda! program was designed to give students more opportunities to pause and take a breath to take in all that makes up the exciting Spanish-speaking world. ¡Anda!’s streamlined approach to grammar and vocabulary helps instructors slow the pace of Elementary and Intermediate Spanish, giving students time to put language to use. New online resources in MySpanishLab – such as tools that enable students to practice Spanish with native speakers from around the world and engaging video content that offers insights into Spanish-speaking cultures – further help facilitate meaningful learning experiences within and outside the classroom.
