Spanish 1 (Online) (Live Online)

Start here if you have little to no prior experience with Spanish. In the first class you will learn pronunciation, the alphabet, and the concept of gender (masculine, feminine) and number (singular, plural) of nouns. In weeks 2-5, the focus will be on sentence formation using the verbs ser, estar, and tener, with an ample vocabulary by themes like adjectives, interrogative words, dates, numbers, etc. By the end of Spanish 1 you will be able to introduce yourself, ask for the prices of things and communicate some basic ideas, such as where you are from, your occupation, descriptions and locations of people, objects, and places.NOTE: This course will be offered via Zoom.Please select either printed book/audio file (pickup is required in advance of class) OR PDF/audio file materials. If you select PDF, being able to print a copy on your own or use a 2nd device to view book during class will be helpful. Class time is in MT.
