¡Bienvenidas y bienvenidos a Spanish 201: Intermediate Spanish B!

SPANISH 201 continues the systematic study of grammar and vocabulary with practice in four basic skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. This process of consolidation in Spanish will enable you to hold conversations on contemporary topics as well as to deal with the necessities of daily life. Structures to be reviewed and consolidated include the present tense, all past tense forms, and the present subjunctive, other common forms and special idioms that are used in everyday situations. The rich culture of the Hispanic world (Spain, Latin America and regions of the United States) is studied in the context of language acquisition. This is the second part of an intermediate course in Spanish which continues with SPANISH 319.
