Reno High School 2017-2018
Spanish 1-2
Spanish 3-4
This year students will work on developing all four of the language skills: reading, speaking, writing, and listening in Spanish. Knowledge of basic structures and vocabulary will be taught to allow the student to communicate in real-life situations. Content will also cover life-styles, cultures, histories, and habits of Spanish speaking peoples.
Students will benefit greatly from speaking and listening to Spanish outside of the classroom. Don’t be afraid to use Spanglish – a little bit of English and a little bit of Spanish. Give yourself permission to make mistakes. The important thing is just to practice whenever you can.
As one can see, the student will be extremely challenged in Spanish this year. It is vitally important that the student be aware of this and reconciles him or herself to study on a daily basis and keep on top of the vocabulary.
