Year 7 - Languages: Spanish

Spanish is spoken by approximately 500 million people across the world. Spanish is a Romance language, derived from Latin, and so has many connections with English. Knowledge of Spanish can facilitate the learning of other languages from the Romance family, such as Italian, French, Portuguese, and Catalan. In Year 7, students are introduced to the foundations of Spanish language. They learn to greet others and develop their confidence in holding introductory conversations. Students begin to understand and apply the rules of Spanish grammar, spelling, and pronunciation. They are introduced to key grammar concepts such as gender/number agreement and word order.

Future Directions
Satisfactory completion of Year 7 Spanish gives students a sound foundation to proceed to Year 8 Spanish.
