Students strive to understand and interpret written and spoken Spanish well enough to be able to use the language both within and beyond the school setting. In class, students will perform dialogues based on real life situations (i.e. buying food at the market, asking directions to school) to put their written vocabulary and grammar into authentic practice. Our goal is to provide a non-competitive atmosphere where the student is highly motivated and feels comfortable with the language in as short a time as possible. This course asks students to practice and study Spanish outside of the classroom daily. Students will learn Spanish through reading, speaking and listening comprehension.
