La unidad

What are your celebrations and traditions? Are they a representation of your country's traditions and culture? In this unit you will explore celebrations and traditions throughout the Spanish-speaking world and dive into the cultural contexts in which they are found. You will then reflect on your own celebrations and traditions, identifying and questioning the cultural context they are in. This unit will help you not only to inter-culturally communicate but also communicate for different purposes and audiences.
