An Intensive Course in Spanish: Level 1

X20 (4 semester units in Spanish and Portuguese)

This 60-hour intensive course is designed for people who are unable to make an extended time commitment but who want to master beginning conversational and reading skills. It emphasizes practical use of the language with rapid development of basic fluency, and acquaints participants with Spanish-speaking cultures. Daily classes, informal conversation groups, and supplementary materials provide a comprehensive introduction to the language. Two to four hours of outside class preparation per day is expected. To ensure personal attention and individual participation, enrollment is limited.
