Students enrolled in this class will begin by learning basic Spanish language structure and vocabulary and building appropriate phrasing and vocabulary to facilitate intake of basic information. Focus will be placed on broad vocabulary acquisition as well as specific medical terminology. As a result, extensive memorization will be required for successful participation. Cultural competency concerns will also be discussed. Select students may be able to continue to Advanced Beginning, assuming appropriate focus and effort are dedicated to this course. There will be a placement examination on the first night of class. Pre-Requisites: Very little to NO prior study or experience with the target language. ACTFL Proficiency = Novice Low: Speakers at the Novice-Low level have no real functional ability and, because of their pronunciation, they may be unintelligible.
