I studied Spanish for three years in high school, then went on to get a bachelors in Spanish. While my spoken and written Spanish is very accurate, I have found that the classroom education I received was deficient in slang and "conversational" grammar. While I learned some slang, I never did learn how to speak Spanish in an informal or conversational manner. So don't be afraid to use the "home" Spanish in the classroom, is what I'm saying. At least in upper-level courses with students aspiring to real-world proficiency.
