THIS IS A TWO-SEMESTER COURSE.

Spanish is the second most spoken language in the United States and the fourth most spoken language in the world. Learning this widespread and beautiful language not only opens doors to diverse cultures and enriching travel experiences but also sharpens cognitive abilities and expands career opportunities.

This is an introductory Spanish course that will provide students with a solid foundation in vocabulary and grammar. Students will build on that foundation in order to develop their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. They will also study the cultures of Spain and Latin America.

At the end of this course, students should have a Mid to High Novice level of language proficiency.
