In this beginning level course, students will learn listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Students will learn to express themselves using an ever increasing vocabulary, present-tense verbs, articles, and adjectives. Grammar is introduced and practiced in innovative and interesting ways with a variety of learning styles in mind. Culture is integrated throughout the course to help learners focus on the Spanish speaking world, its cultures, people, geographical locations, and histories.

Students will communicate in Spanish from the beginning of the course. The four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing will be incorporated throughout the course. Students will expand knowledge of language structures, vocabulary, and culture. Using the language daily in class will increase the ease and confidence with which the student uses the language in the community.

This course is recommended for those who successfully completed Level II.
