Course Descriptions

SPA111
Beginning Spanish I
A course for students who want to learn the fundamentals of Spanish conversation. An emphasis on oral communication is given importance over the intricacies of grammar. Only fundamental grammar that is necessary for conversing about everyday situations is stressed. General topics that are given preference are those relating to telling time; weather; introducing and describing self, family, and friends; days and dates; expressing creature comfort (hunger/thirst/etc.); and vocabulary and verbs that are used in telling location, emotions, and destination. The two basic present tenses are studied. This course is intended for students with no language experience or students who have had up to two years of Spanish instruction more than two years ago. 3 Credits (3 Lecture - 0 Lab)
