Hola! I need to take a second language for my degree and was considering Spanish. Any suggestions for colleges that offer easy Spanish classes online?
Hola! It's wonderful that you're interested in learning Spanish online. Many colleges offer beginner-level Spanish courses online, but remember that the ease of a course can often depend on how you personally grasp the material and the time you invest in it. However, from conversations with many students, the following institutions seem to offer comprehensive and beginner-friendly online Spanish courses:
1. Arizona State University (ASU): The Spanish program at ASU is well-regarded. They offer SPN 101, "Elementary Spanish I," which is a beginner-level course aimed at developing real-world language skills. Course materials are designed to be engaging and integrate cultural competency skills.
2. Oregon State University (OSU): OSU's E-campus offers first-year Spanish courses, including SPAN 111, "First Year Spanish." OSU's course includes interactive practice with reading, writing, and listening. The courses are developed and taught by OSU faculty within the Department of World Languages and Cultures.
3. University of Wisconsin – Madison: Through their "University Without Walls" initiative, they offer first-year Spanish that might be worth checking out.
Remember to reach out to these institutions for more information, such as prerequisites, course availability, costs, and the application process. Ensure that the credits would transfer successfully to your home institution before enrolling. Good luck in your pursuit of learning Spanish!
