This course welcomes students who can meet and greet others, express likes and dislikes, and talk about daily activities in present-tense Spanish. In this course, we will emphasize interpersonal communication through a variety of class activities such as role-plays, conversational exchanges, and short presentations in which students share their passions and interests. At the same time, activities surrounding readings and videos—such as current articles, poetry, news, and movie clips—will help students develop new comprehension strategies. By the end of the course, students will be able to give basic descriptions and comparisons of family members, talk about activities past and present, and understand some details in news items from the Spanish-speaking world.
Students must complete SPA 01: “Beginning Spanish: Part I” or have comparable experience prior to enrolling in this course. Part III will be offered in Summer 2026. Students may enroll in this course without intending to take Part III.
