In this class, purchasing a Spanish dictionary may not be required. However, if you would like to ask for its information, please do not hesitate to contact the teacher before or after class.

The communication tasks will be achived during class, so you need to review the meaning of learnt vocabulary and grammar constructures after class (approx. 1.5 h. for each lesson).
Additionally, it is crutial to check new words and expressions for the next lesson (approx. 30 minutes for each lesson).

Talking to a peer or in groups of three or four students to practice oral communication in Spanish. Sometimes, the partner or group members will be changed or randomly decided. You don't have to be shy, so just frankly and comfortably try to speak Spanish. Any questions and comments are welcome anytime and anywhere!

At the beginning of each class, we will have quizzes to confirm how well each student has acquired the Spanish vocabulary and grammar taught in the previous lesson. This small test will be returned at the beginning of the next lesson with some comments.

Students who have taken this course "Spanish 1" must register for "Spanish 2", as well.
This course doesn't require knowledge regarding Linguistics nor Romance languages in advance. In other words, if you take an interest in Spanish language, cultures in Spanish speaking countries or communities, Linguistics, foreign languages, etc. you are warmheartedly welcomed to this class.
