Bienvenido!
Welcome!
The Spanish language is becoming increasingly common and important in the United States. Here at Maryville High School we offer four years of Spanish. Spanish 3 and 4 are also offered for dual credit through Northwest Missouri State University.
So ------ what can you expect in Spanish class?
* Lots of vocabulary to learn. The more words you know the more things you can say.
* Some grammar. After all, you don't want to sound like Tarzan when you speak Spanish.
* Communication. What's the point of learning a language if you can't communicate.
* Class participation. You can't learn a language without using it.
* Active engaging strategies. Everyone gets to participate. Everyone gets to learn.
* Homework (a couple of times a week). Practice makes permanent. If you don't practice, you can't remember.
