Switched-On Course Description:
In Switched-On Spanish I, students in grades 9-12 accompany fictional characters and go on a trip to nine Spanish-speaking countries and Puerto Rico. While traveling through this course from our online academy, students learn the basics of Spanish verb conjugation in the indicative and subjunctive moods, direct and indirect objects, demonstrative pronouns and adjectives, adjective placement, and other grammatical items.

Vocabulary words in this course from our online academy are presented in situational daily usage such as describing emotions, eating, travel, health, safety, education, hobbies, family, and other life areas and events. Cultural differences and similarities are also examined. This course contains quizzes and tests to evaluate progress and student mastery. Projects are included.

Students can earn an elective credit by taking Basic Spanish, but since it is not a college preparatory course, it does not count toward the foreign language requirement of the college prep track.
