Foundations of Conversational Spanish

Develop the language skills needed to communicate in everyday situations using Spanish. Through interactive activities, conversations, and guided practice, students will build beginning proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing while expanding vocabulary, pronunciation, and essential grammar. Cultural topics including customs, traditions, food, holidays, and everyday life are integrated throughout the course to provide a meaningful understanding of the language and the people who speak it. This course is intended for beginners but students who have already taken a beginner level class are welcome as this class introduces some high-beginner communication skills to support continued language learning in order to expand existing skills while developing confidant speaking skills. Students will engage in dialogue every session.
