Spanish I

World Languages

This first year course is intended for students who do not have prior experience with the Spanish language. It introduces foundational grammar and thematic vocabulary of approximately 1000 words, including 200 regular and irregular verbs. There is a balanced approach to all components of language acquisition: listening and reading comprehension, writing skills and speaking. Students learn to introduce themselves, using short dialogues about their nationalities, family, personal interests and school life. Common and practical everyday phrases are also taught and practiced on a regular basis. Additional focus on the varied cultural aspects of the Spanish speaking world is stressed. Students are encouraged to express themselves in Spanish during class time.
