Description: Spanish 2 builds on the foundation laid in Spanish 1. Coursework continues to emphasize verbal skills. The live classes are still conducted in English, but with increasing amounts of Spanish. Students learn how to navigate additional real-life scenarios in Spanish, such as trips to the doctor’s office, bank, or mechanic. Students learn to read and understand non-adapted biblical texts in Spanish, including the entire Gospel of Mark in the second semester. They also read excerpts of Spanish literature.

  • Prerequisites

    Students should have completed Spanish 1 or an equivalent course, and should be able to read and write at the 10th grade level. We offer a Spanish Placement Assessment to help families determine where students fit in the Academy Spanish program. The ultimate decision rests with parents. 

  • What is a Live Online Class Session in Spanish 2?

    In every HSLDA Academy course, students meet weekly with their instructor and classmates in an online classroom for additional teaching, discussion, Q&A, or group activities. The class sessions are interactive and are conducted using a web meeting software with video, audio, chat, and application sharing capabilities.

    Scheduled, real-time sessions in the online classroom are not the only form of instruction available in a HSLDA Online Academy course, but are offered in addition to lectures or other instructional materials that students are able to access online at their convenience.

    When they register, students will need to select a particular class section and live class meeting time. Additional class sections may be added to the schedule at a later point in the course registration period. Registered students will be notified of any changes to the live session schedule.

  • What if I have a schedule conflict with listed Spanish 2 class times?

    All live class sessions are recorded for later viewing. While it is recommended that students attend each live class session, students can make arrangements to watch the recordings and receive full participation credit.

    Students should contact their instructor at the start of their course to inform the instructor of any foreseen schedule conflicts.
