An introduction to the Spanish language for those who have little or no knowledge of Spanish.

This course includes many types of activities designed to develop basic skills in speaking, listening comprehension, reading and writing, with the greatest emphasis placed on practicing conversation. Communicative competence is stressed. Students learn present tense conjugation (including irregular and stem-changing verbs), conjugation of reflexive verbs, and the informal future.
