Intensive Spanish

Catalog description

This elementary course is an accelerated, intensive Spanish language class. It covers most of the basic structures and vocabulary needed to develop proficiency in understanding, reading, speaking and writing Spanish for living, working and traveling. Intensive Spanish is especially appropriate for students who have taken Spanish classes in the past but have not practiced the language in several years. It is also appropriate for students who have studied other Romance languages (Italian, French, Portuguese, etc.) and want to learn Spanish at an accelerated pace. The course is taught entirely in Spanish. Students who successfully pass this course can move on to Spanish III: Language and Culture at Columbia.
