This course is a beginner level introductory Spanish Course! No prior knowledge of the Spanish language is necessary! Students will learn Spanish in a flexible course format for four weeks. Content each week will include practice, as well as review with concepts learned the previous week, as well as learning new content each week through instructional scaffolding.

In the recording, the teacher will use slides, songs, and activities to engage learners!
During the week, the teacher will use the classroom page to interact with students virtually and practice the current topic of the week.

Students are encouraged to use props to practice the learned dialogues.
