Spanish II

In the first part of Spanish II, students review grammar from Spanish I. They then proceed to new verb tenses, including the imperfect, future, and present perfect. They also study irregular verb forms and idiomatic expressions. Students are asked to improve their skills in understanding and expressing their points of view appropriate to the second-year level. Practical vocabulary is emphasized in the four communicative skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students continue to encounter the cultures of different Spanish-speaking countries. They deepen their knowledge of the similarities and differences between American and Hispanic cultures.
