Spanish 1-C is full of fun activities, comprehensible stories, and engaging lessons. This course is for advanced beginners. In this ongoing class, we will meet twice a week to explore new topics in Spanish! This course will be divided into multiple units, which are listed below. The topics covered in Spanish 1-C are similar to those taught during the 2nd semester of an advanced Spanish 1 class or the first semester of a traditional Spanish 2 class.

     • Very experienced beginners - learners who have already been introduced to the basics of the language (colors, feelings, letter sounds, numbers, greetings, animals, etc), and have also been introduced to many verbs in the present tense. This learner feels confident answering in complete sentences with memorized phrases (saying how they feel, saying how old they are, saying where they're from, etc.), and is starting to feel confident when speaking (or trying to) in complete sentences about common, everyday topics. 
     • Students who have taken my Spanish 1-B course, or have a similar amount of Spanish experience.
     • Students who are taking Spanish 1 in school (or another equivalent course) and find it to be easy and would like something more advanced.
     • Students who are taking Spanish 2 in school (or another equivalent course), and would like to review/practice.
