A continuation of SPAN131, further developing skills in reading, writing, listening to, and speaking Spanish for students with some basic knowledge of the language.
Are you interested in building upon previous basic Spanish skills while also learning about Hispanic culture? With over 400 million native speakers worldwide, Spanish is truly a world language, and the ability to communicate in a second language will distinguish you from other graduates. As an advanced beginners paper, all you need is your interest, enthusiasm and energy; we can do the rest. Some previous knowledge required.
