The focus of Spanish I is on vocabulary and the present tense, as well as an introduction to language structure and culture. Classroom commands and directions are learned in Spanish. The vocabulary includes numbers, colors, time, weather, calendar, clothing, family and some food. Verb conjugations are in the present tense, including regulars, irregulars and stem changers. Grammar mastery includes use of pronouns, subject-verb agreement, adjective agreement in number and gender, interrogatives and propositions. Culture lessons focus on some holidays, Hispanic foods, and common sports and pastimes.

Spanish III:
Grades 11-12
Our third year is built for conversation and for putting all those tenses, vocabulary and formations to work. Not only will we review and deeply investigate all previously learned tenses, we’ll introduce the challenging subjunctive mood. Also, we’ll give some new formations that allow you to communicate more fluently on a variety of every day topics. Also, there will be some exciting new cultural topics that will allow you to see the people’s passion for the language, the country, and for a way of life. As you continue through Spanish III, you will notice that your abilities in writing, listening, speaking and comprehending will be even further enhanced upon completion.
