Spring 2013 SPN 200 Elementary Spanish: Level I (5 unit)
Section 0832 Class Begins 1/22/13
Course Description
Beginning instruction in understanding, speaking, reading, and writing Spanish. Development of pronunciation, vocabulary and conversational skills within the context of the exploration of cultures, histories and peoples of the Spanish-speaking world.
This course assumes that you know no Spanish. Of course, a little background in Spanish will help you get oriented but is not a requirement. However, you must be willing to work out the intricacies of learning a foreign language online.
