Spanish Basic 2 is the second step in the Spanish language curriculum at SFC. Our objective will be to acquire the skills necessary for basic everyday communication. We will make a first encounter with this language spoken by 427 million people around the world, learn how to communicate using it, and understand its basic structures. By carrying out three tasks using Spanish and through the examination of our own foreign-language learning process, we will attach great importance to your development and growth as a learner who takes responsibility of his/her own learning, i.e. as a learner who not only learns Spanish, but also learns ‘how to learn.’ This course covers the second half of the "A1 level" defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
Students with some previous knowledge of basic Spanish might want to enroll directly into this Spanish Basic 2. In that case we encourage you to consult the Department of Spanish and Spanish-Speaking Societies and take the placement test before the semester begins.
