Course Description:  

While students in Spanish 101 have various learning experiences in Spanish, the focus of this course is to bring these different levels together and to further develop their existing listening and speaking skills with online activities that provide ample practice in these skills.

Language is communication. Do not be overly concerned when you make errors or stop yourself when you detect an error.  It takes time and practice to learn a new language. Above all, remember that acquiring a new language is exciting and rewarding.
