Spanish is the third most widely spoken language and is used by over 500 million people in Spain and both North and South America. By studying Spanish, ākonga gain insight into a rich history and a variety of cultures and societies that have spanned the globe. Many New Zealanders are choosing to learn Spanish for its importance as both a commercial and cultural language.
This is a course for beginners (Curriculum Levels 1–5). Ākonga are introduced to basic listening, speaking, reading and writing skills using everyday Spanish. They learn how to greet people and communicate basic information about themselves and others including looks, hobbies, birthdays, family and their home.
They also learn to communicate about food, shopping and countries. Ākonga also investigate Hispanic culture, giving them a broad understanding of the different countries where Spanish is spoken and their customs. Communication activities are emphasised throughout.
No prior learning needed.
