Spanish I students learn familiar conversational phrases; including greetings, numbers, telling time, likes and dislikes. Vocabulary associated with families, daily life, and other activities is enhanced through written and verbal communication. Basic Spanish grammar structure is introduced focusing on noun and verb placement, and verb conjugation. Students will learn the present tense of regular and irregular verbs, as well as stem-changing verbs.
