This is an hybrid course, which means students and instructor will meet face to face once a week to cover the oral communication component. In this level we are looking forward to basic communication skills. For example, how to introduce yourself to others, introducing someone to a group, distinguishing different levels of formality in Spanish, describing yourself and others, describing your family, talking about the weather, activities you usually do, your likes and dislikes, among other goals.
