Who should take Level 1?
If you have never studied Spanish before, then you are a true beginner and need to begin with Level 1. If you studied Spanish in high school and/or college, but it's been awhile, you probably want to start with Level 1. In Level 1 you will learn A LOT of basic vocabulary such as greetings, numbers, colors, family, useful expressions, days of the week, months of the year, and weather. You will also learn the correct pronunciation of the Spanish alphabet, which is REALLY important if you want to be understood.

Who should take Level 2?
If you have taken Spanish within the past few years or you feel comfortable with the basics listed for Level 1, then you should begin with Level 2. In Level 2 we begin with present tense conjugation. So, if you know a lot of nouns, but have trouble with verbs, then this is the class for you! You will learn:
-Regular present tense verbs
-Subject pronouns
-Interrogatives (ex. Who? What? When?)
-Boot verbs (stem changing)
-Conjunctions (ex. and, or, but)
-Singular/plural nouns

This is the class for anyone who feels pretty comfortable with vocabulary and grammar, but still needs a safe environment to practice speaking.

We will try to talk as much as possible in Spanish!
