Spanish I 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 grade
Course Number: 5120 Full Year 1 Credit
This course is an introduction to the basic structures of Spanish. Lessons are designed to enable the
student to learn the language while also learning about the cultures of those who are from
Spanish-speaking countries. An on-going study of Spanish pronunciation is apparent throughout the
course as the student learns vocabulary focused on practical, thematic content. The present tense in
regular, irregular, and command forms is taught and will serve as a foundation for the learning of more
verb tenses in higher-level courses. An introduction to the preterit tense occurs in the second semester.
Many students find that the subject matter here helps them to understand the mechanics of their own
language.
