Spanish for True Beginners is a course designed for students who are encountering the Spanish language for the first time. Understanding that studying a second language for the first time can be a daunting experience, we will focus on developing intercultural communication in Spanish from the very most basic starting point, the idea of communicating across cultures and languages. You will learn strategies to navigate sounds, gestures, and cultural norms as well as basic spoken and written language, gaining the confidence to move on to more sophisticated linguistic structures as well as to a deeper understanding of the cultural perspectives, histories, and values of Hispanic people.
