Spanish 1 and 2 are introductory courses that introduce students in the language and cultures of Spanish-speaking countries. In Spanish 1, students learn vocabulary through real-world contexts like doing a travel itinerary to a Latin American country and exploring traditions such as El Día de Los Muertos. They also listen to Spanish speaking music and get introduced to social issues that connect to diverse Spanish speaking communities. Spanish 2 continues to build on this foundation by deepening cultural connections and communication skills, allowing students to discuss past experiences, and share opinions. Both courses emphasize Spanish writing, listening, speaking, with a focus on cultural appreciation making language learning engaging and meaningful.
