Adults Spanish 1

This Spanish Program for Adults begins by instructing students on the four fundamental language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing before progressively moving on to discussions of current events that are important to the Hispanic culture.

This course provides opportunities for students to begin to develop and apply skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in the language of study. Students will communicate and interact in structured activities, with a focus on matters of personal interest and familiar topics, and will read and write simple texts in the language.

Throughout the course, students will acquire an understanding and appreciation of diverse communities in regions of the world where the language is spoken. They will also develop skills necessary for lifelong language learning

Students are encouraged to communicate in Spanish by following the communicative language method. The more they use Spanish, the more proficient and confident they become in speaking Spanish independently.

Join us this Spring in any of the Adults 1 – A1.1, and those who want to continue their Spanish learning during the Summer may do so in a Spanish 2 – A1.2 or in the Fall.

More flexibility, a great digital platform with interactive learning resources, and small-size groups. Personalize attention, faster results!
