Aimed at students who have had some basic experience with Spanish, this course prepares them to communicate in the language about themselves and their environment, and to acquaint them with basic socio-historical aspects of the cultures of Spanish-speaking countries. Students participate in activities that involve interacting with others, presenting information and understanding the target language, which allow them to learn about the structure of the language (its grammar). Priority is given to first- and second-year students. Enrollment limited to 25.

This course is for students who have had no previous experience with the language and emphasizes speaking, listening, writing, reading and "grammaring".

Yearlong courses cannot be divided at midyear with credit for the first semester. Enrollment limited to 25.
