This is a comprehensible input-based course. Through the course of each unit, students use all four communicative skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Its student-centered lessons bring together language and culture in each lesson sequence, preparing students for the real world.

What does that mean? It means that this will not be a typical "memorize massive lists of vocab, take a quiz, forget it" class. You will build on small amounts of vocabulary; reading, writing, and speaking constantly. This is NOT a course to use Google Translate. Your job as a student is to actively participate in each lesson and activity. You will be required to video yourself speaking and you will also be required to interact with other students and/or me. You can do this! Language can be so fun!!

The course meets the requirements for high school Spanish 1.
