This course requires students to listen weekly to tapes or CD’s at home. Each student who registers should plan to buy both the book and the accompanying tapes or CD’s.


This course will use Speedy Spanish by Bechtel Books. Students will acquire significant vocabulary and become familiar with the sounds and structures of Spanish through listening and speaking activities. Speedy Spanish is patterned after first language acquisition; we learn to speak and understand our native language years before we read it, write it, or struggle with its grammar. This course will build students’ confidence in their ability to learn a foreign language and will smooth the way for the more traditional, grammar-based language study that their high school and college years will require.
