Prerequisite for 9th only:  Grade of “B” or better 8th grade regular English.

This beginning course relies heavily on an audio-lingual (hearing-speaking) approach. 

The areas of emphasis are on an understanding of the spoken language, correct

pronunciation and intonation, development of correct speech patterns, simple dialogues and narratives, reading and writing of Spanish already heard, and short dictations. Students will learn to tell the time of day and use time expressions, be able to identify classroom objects, be able to use simple vocabulary covering the family and home, clothing, food, and entertainment - all in Spanish!
