Description
Course Description
This course focuses on meaningful communication in Spanish that goes beyond the word level. In class, students are expected to use the target language structures as much as possible by speaking and writing in order to acquire Spanish proficiency. Our goal is for students to first understand new language structures then to produce it when they are comfortable doing so.
By the end of this course, your student should be able to greet and introduce themselves, describe physical appearances, talk about activities they like and dislike, describe people’s character and emotions, and talk about their family and family traditions.
