Spanish for Foreigners:During the first 100 hours of classes, the participant can talk about himself and his family, ask basic questions, use greetings (formal and informal), ask for directions, give instructions, express preferences, likes and dislikes. He can also ask and give an opinion, talk about the time and make appointments, describe people, show interest, compliment, and talk about experiences in the past.
Regarding the length of time necessary to gain adequate competency in Spanish, at least 400 hours are suggested, that is, four levels of 100 hours each, approximately. At this point, the participants are able to talk about the present, past, future, and use two types of conditionals that would enable them to carry out an uncomplicated negotiation, make comparisons, establish likes and dislikes, talk about obligations and necessities, and so on.
This fourth level also includes many idiomatic expressions and phrasals necessary for every-day situations. The number of hours stated above are estimated on the basis of a regular twice-a-week course. If the classes are more intensive, the total number of hours needed is significantly reduced.
