Description

Review of the basic features of Spanish that leads into an intensified examination of more complex structures for both conversational and written Spanish, including a wide range of verb structures.

SPAN201 is a continuing Spanish course that assumes prior knowledge of Spanish at the second semester (SPAN102) level. This course will build on your existing language skills by reviewing the basic features of Spanish and leading into an intensified examination of more complex structures for both conversational and written Spanish, including a wide range of verb structures.

At the same time, it will also offer students the opportunity to learn about the culture of the many countries where Spanish is spoken
