DESCRIPTION
This third-year course depends and builds upon the skills developed in the first
two years. This year moves from the restraints of only the indicative mood to
that of the imperative and the subjunctive moods as well. It is bilingual and
speaking is emphasized as well as beginning-level essay writing skills. The
course contains studies of current events, history, literature and economics as
they impact the Hispanic society and language.
