spanish 1 is honestly really easy if you pay attention somewhat. of course learning a new language has a lot to do with memorization, but more important things are talked about a lot. there’s a lot of writing when it comes to homework (for the cuaderno just search up the answers) and notes (we watch movies and have to write 100 spanish words) but he gives you enough time to write the information down. we’ve also gotten burritos a couple of times and watched a movie which was really nice. in general he has no problem with eating unless you make a mess (sometimes we make popcorn and this one guy in my class brings whole meals since it’s right after break). likes to joke around mainly with the guys in my class who never pay attention and do their work and it’s pretty entertaining. overall just do your homework and pay attention and you should be fine
Class of -1
Just know your vocabulary and do your homework, and you'll be fine. There is not that much content throughout the class. We watch a lot of movies in Spanish, which is great, but you do have to write a 100 Spanish words from the subtitles. Burrito days are a plus.
