The Mandan School will be providing the textbooks for this class. (On a loan basis)

In addition to the textbook and workbooks needed, each student should

have a Spanish/English Dictionary. I recommend "Larouse"

Also - Colored Pencils and Markers

A folder (just for Spanish) with a matching notebook to aid in organization.

A student in Spanish I & II will be expected to:

- develop consistency in Spanish pronunciation

- understand questions, commands, directions, and short conversations

- recognize words and phrases dealing with topics such as daily activities, travel

meals, weather, time, family, and sports

- develop an appreciation of a different culture through readings and discussions

It is recommended that any student who wishes to enroll in Spanish I or II should be aware that strong English skills are essential to the mastery of a foreign language. This includes strengths in reading, comprehension, writing, and spelling. It is also important to realize that a great amount of time needs to be put in every day when studying a foreign language.
