I learned Spanish vocabulary and grammar

This class was helpful in improving my listening skills, as we practiced audio exercises often. I also found that my presentation skills improved since we had many presentations.

This class was "super duper!" This class was a lot of fun. We had great discussions, and a good mix of activities during class to practice. 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Spring 2021 Course: SPANUN1101_002_2021_1-ELEMENTARYSPANISHI : SPANUN1101_002_2021_1 - ELEMENTARY SPANISH I Instructor: Irene Alonso-Aparicio

I improved my spanish-speaking skills and definitely my reading comprehension, as we focused a lot on grammar concepts that past professors/teachers had neglected (but that I felt really completed a missing piece in my reading/listening comprehension).

I learned the entire elementary Spanish 1 and Spanish 2. I missed majority of Spanish 1 however I was still able to pass. Lorena immediately noticed and began catching me up on intro materials while also teaching Spanish 2.

i thought it was very valuable to improve my spanish skills- lots of verb tenses and vocabulary and conversational skills
