Students will understand cognates, borrowed words, high-frequency words, and highly contextualized words and phrases with repetition. Students will gain an understanding of sentence-length information within highly contextualized situations and sources. Students in Spanish I Honors are expected to reach a novice mid to novice high level of language proficiency at completion of study.
