This course is a continuation of Spanish Language and Culture for Beginners V (or equivalent).
To enroll in this class, students should have a good knowledge of the basics of the Spanish language including vocabulary such as days of the week, months and seasons, directions, telling time, family, and descriptive adjectives. Students should be able to participate in a simple conversation in Spanish, using regular present tense verb structures. Students in this class may have some differences in Spanish language skills, based on previous language learning experiences.
Using a communicative/conversational approach, students will review and expand their knowledge of Spanish including conversation, listening, reading, simple writing, and basic grammar. Students will develop conversation skills about everyday life, travel survival skills such as shopping, likes and dislikes, food, health, and more.
The Spanish Culture component will focus on a general introduction to the Spanish-speaking world, with topics such as geography, history, literature, art, cultural values, beliefs and attitudes, and special topics.
