|
Intermediate Spanish 1, the first semester of a yearlong sequence, offers an intensive review of basic structures of Spanish as well as an introduction to more complex structures and elevated vocabulary through a video-integrated approach. Language is not abstracted from cultures of the Spanish-speaking world, including the United States.

This is because research tells us that, While grammar is very important, language is acquired through using it meaningfully rather than memorizing linguistic rules.
