Greetings! I'm looking to take a Spanish class at Queens College next semester. I have very little background in the language, so I was hoping to find a class that's good for beginners. Anyone know which Spanish class at Queens might be the easiest?
Hey there! Since you're starting fresh with Spanish, I would definitely suggest considering a basic level class to begin with. Most colleges, including Queens College, have introductory language courses designed for students with no previous knowledge or minimal background in the given language.
For Spanish, you might want to check out Elementary Spanish I (SPAN 111). This course will offer an introduction to basic speaking, reading, writing, and understanding Spanish. You'll go over things like simple vocabulary and sentence structure. Usually, these types of beginning level classes are approachable and manageable if you stay on top of the work.
Make sure you scan through the course descriptions and possibly speak with a counselor at college or the course instructor before you enroll. Also, the 'Professor Ratings' resources available online can provide student reviews about different Spanish classes and professors, which could be quite useful. In the end, remember your learning experience will largely depend on your effort, regardless of the course level!
One tip, engage with the language outside of class. Watch Spanish shows, listen to Spanish music or podcasts. You'd be surprised how much it can help your comprehension. Good luck!
