ABOUT THIS ONLINE SPANISH COURSE
LEVEL: BEGINNER
Introducción
In language as in performance, a strong foundation is the basis for developing the core knowledge, strategies, and fluidity to speak Spanish with confidence. The textbook that we use prepares students with that strong foundation through the use of real, everyday situations that move the student from Spanish learner to Spanish speaker. With the confidence that students gain from the strong building blocks that we provide, they can take center stage in using Spanish to communicate with others both inside and outside the classroom walls. This 12-chapter introductory program takes a highly practical approach with a simple chapter structure, activities in the core textbook that students find relevant and reflective of everyday conversations, a wealth of teaching, learning, and practice resources.
