Spanish III

Course description:

This Spanish III-H course is aligned with the National Standards and State Framework.

These will enable the student to communicate and understand the target language outside the classroom and with native speakers of this language.

In addition, there will be many opportunities to explore customs and culture through projects, videos, and art.
