Join the Y on a journey to learn the Spanish language! Enjoy the rewards of life-long learning while gaining the skills to connect to Spanish-speaking members in our community. This is an introductory course in which participants will learn to listen to, speak, read and write entry-level Spanish, great for those wanting to learn conversational Spanish. This class will be tailored to the needs of participants, but is not recommended for those with considerable past experience learning Spanish.
