CH1601 Spanish Language & Culture - Beginner Liberal Arts & Business Program Spring 2018 Semester - Early Start - Madrid

In this course, students without previous knowledge of Spanish will come into contact with the Spanish language for the first time. Students will be introduced to lexical content e.g.: personal information, hobbies, stores products, etc.) as well as cultural content (customs and regions) in order to be able to communicate in different everyday situations and to take part in basic social interactions with Spanish speakers. Students will learn how to introduce themselves, ask questions, and to communicate as well as to show their interests, tastes and preferences. In addition, students will be introduced to schedules, routines and habits that will help them to adapt themselves much easily to live in Spain. Students will also be introduced in the diversity of the Spanish culture, which will allow them to compare and to reflect on differences and similarities found compared to their countries.
