The instructor will meet the class at the oriental grocery store, and will provide directions in the first class session. Please plan to use your own transportation for the field trip. This is the perfect course for people needing basic skills quickly - businessmen, tourists, people visiting for adoption. Learn simple, useful, everyday conversational skills. Some tourist and cultural information will be provided.
Tuition includes a Chinese tape for outside practice.
You will learn basic greetings as well as how to talk about yourself, your family, and your workplace. You will learn how to form questions and have a basic discussion about your leisure time interests. Grammar lessons will be minimal, but a necessary part of this class. With a little bit of effort, you will be on your way to reaching out to a new neighbor or workmate in our increasingly diverse Northern Virginia population. The required text, Household Spanish , is available in the campus bookstore .
