Description:
The Survival Spanish course is designed for adult learners with little or no previous knowledge of Spanish who want to learn or improve their speaking, listening, and comprehension skills to survive in a Spanish speaking environment. Participants can take classes two days a week in the evenings.
* Until further notice, due to COVID-19 restrictions, in-class courses will be primarily offered online via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Blackboard. However, we will allow up to 9 participants in the classroom on a first-come, first-served basis. If you wish to secure your in-person seat, please email li@utrgv.edu as soon as you complete the registration for the course.
