Spanish Introductory Level I
Brought to you by Odyssey
February 17, 2022 - April 21, 2022
Thursday, 6:45 - 8:45 PM ET
This class is intended as an introductory Spanish course for beginner language learners. Over this 10-week period, we will learn to have basic conversations in Spanish over a variety of themes (temas) and contexts (contextos). Some of these topics will include introductions and greetings, describing people, going to the store, asking basic questions, going on vacation, etc.
Our textbook, ¡Adelante! Uno 2nd Ed. will provide us with a solid basis of vocabulary, conversational and structural exercises, and informative grammar explanations. However, our classes will not be based solely on the textbook. We will incorporate music, readings, films/videos, skits, and other activities to make the classroom environment and material more interesting, applicable, and relevant.
By the end of this course, our goal is to be able to confidently express ourselves in Spanish and be able to apply what we have learned into our daily lives.
Total immersion in language and culture:
Your instructor and course materials will provide you with numerous opportunities to develop language skills and cultural competence through the use of the target language to hear, read, write, and talk about things that are relevant to your life. During every class session you will find yourself immersed in a rich Spanish language environment that will help you learn how to communicate meaningfully in Spanish and collectively explore the language and the cultures. Use it and enjoy it!
