SPANISH CLASS

Bienvenidos! Welcome to Spanish I class! This is an introductory course to both the Spanish
language and the cultures where the Spanish language is spoken. Students will learn basic
vocabulary and grammar structures as well as general information about the cultures of Spanishspeaking countries. While is important for you to study vocabulary and produce the language,
our approach will also target the exploration and deeper understanding of the Spanish language.
This class requires a considerable amount of practice and also involves working with others and
speaking Spanish. As a student in this class, you are expected to follow some procedure that will
