How much Spanish can you expect
to speak by the end of Spanish I or II?
Many other countries begin language study in Kindergarten,
and continue for 12 years. By comparison,
U.S. students often know very little in a second language compared to students
from other nations. Someday, hopefully legislation will change this.
The reality is that language proficiency requires much more than 2 or 4 years.
However, in the mean time you can begin the language learning process,
and learn to begin dialoguing on a variety of topics.
Here’s a sampling of what you will be able to do after each level of Spanish:
