Spanish I Part 1 will provide the student with a strong foundation of the Spanish language and its cultural influences. Unit lessons incorporate pronunciation, basic grammar, and practical vocabulary components to give the student a fundamental understanding of written and conversational Spanish. Lesson topics include Spanish pronunciation sounds, greetings and introductions, questions, and present tense verb conjugation. Students will also learn how to describe people, school, and pastime activities in addition to likes and dislikes. Lessons are presented in a fun, interesting format that promotes learning and draws a link between the classroom and real-world situations.
These courses include auditory comprehension assessments that require students to listen to audio files and to record themselves speaking. For these courses, it is essential that students have either a headset equipped with a microphone or access to an internal microphone within their computers.
