Explanation:
in other words:
Spanish language and culture courses

I don't understand why you want to complicate your life by adding "second" or "general"

or
culture and Spanish language courses (so you don't think it's Spanish culture)

Thank you, Nikkiiiiiiii!!! That's exactly what I wanted to avoid -"Spanish" culture is not the idea. There may be some, of course, but we Chileans are supposed to have been taught enough about Spain at school, so in College we are offered wide ranges of "cultural" choices.
(As to complicating my life... you don't turn 50 every day... so I think I have a right to be a bit distracted...)

Explanation:
Hola María, me da en la nariz que los cursos de cultura son un complemento al curso del idioma - una especie de paquete de sensibilización cultural. Sería, en este caso, más propio hablar de la cultura de todos los pueblos hispanoparlantes.
