Spanish Beginner I

Course Description: This course is ideal to take your first steps in Spanish. It is recommended for those who have very little or no previous experience with the language. From the first session you will be introduced in a comfortable and engaging way to the basic foundations of Spanish pronunciation and elementary vocabulary, and in no time will be able to communicate important information.

Through oral activities and exercises in class and focused homework assignments you will learn to greet and introduce people, describe objects and people with the two verbs for “to be”, ask and answer basic questions, and pronounce Spanish words correctly.
