Portland Community College

Learn the basics in this fun, interactive beginner's class. We'll introduce Spanish vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar while exploring elements of Latin cultures. Then we'll put it into practice in group and one-on-one conversations. 

There will be some reading and writing in this class. However, this is a conversation class, so our main focus will be on speaking, listening, and culture. Course content varies depending on the instructor and students. Generally, the following topics are covered in this level: PRONUNCIATION: the alphabet; words and how accent marks affect pronunciation and stress. SYNTAX (how sentences are formed): articles (definite and indefinite); pronouns (formal vs. informal); possessive pronouns;plurals, noun/adjective agreement; forming negatives; gender; interrogatives (questions words); construction of negatives. VERBS: most common Verbs (ser, estar, ir, venir, tener, gustar, ir a+infinitiver); formation of regular verbs; some irregular verbs, if there is time. VOCABULARY: greetings and farewells; days, months, and telling time; numbers up to 1,000; weather; colors; daily life
