# Spanish: An Introduction

< Spanish
Welcome to an introduction to Spanish
Obviously, this subject is in progress. It is a course comprised of 25-30 classes of Spanish language instruction for beginners. Anyone can join at any time. The tab below is used for coordination that the instructor will know in which lesson you are at the time. It is recommended to do 1-2 lessons a week. This course has to bring you on a lower-intermediate level (pass A1).

## Welcome students! How to study?

It is highly recommended to all of you coming to study Spanish to have a basic knowledge of PC, Internet and MediaWiki (Our course:MediaWiki I), but also know to write fast on keyboard (Our course:Typing). If you do not know these basic things you will have many problems during the course.
How to study this course? Follow the guidelines written in points in each section. They are in bold. You should follow each section systematically and not skip ahead. If something is too difficult for you, or too easy, don't skip it but be patient and pass it. This course is methodologically written, therefore it needs to be done in order. Remember that only hard work bears fruits.
Don't be afraid to write in your contributions to the text. Teachers will help you and motivate you during the course. After some time your contributions will be deleted by a teacher, or the best contributions will be moved to wikiversity or wikibooks content. You might also have a notebook for note taking if this suits you better. Another recommendation is not to copy answers and to write them in your own words.
So, good luck students and see you at the end of this course.
