THIS IS A TWO-SEMESTER COURSE.

In Spanish 3, students will build toward naturally speaking Spanish by crafting sentences and participating in conversations about everyday life. They will become more fluent at listening, speaking, reading, and writing in Spanish. They’ll also improve their understanding of the culture through reading, conversation, and presentation. As they dive deeper, they’ll face more challenging and immersive communication experiences.

In this course, students will:

• Progress with advanced vocabulary, grammar structures, and pronunciation, as well as with their understanding of the Spanish culture
• Spontaneously generate sentences to ask and answer questions about everyday topics
• Focus on understanding and utilizing more complex grammar forms and expanding their vocabulary
• Communicate primarily in Spanish during class

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