Which Level Should I Register For?

Part 1: For complete beginners who have never learned the language or learned it so long ago they have forgotten (Chapters 1-10)

Part 2: If you have taken Part 1 or have some experience with the language this is your level (Chapters 11-20)

Part 3: If you have taken part 2 or the equivalent of one semester of college language and feel comfortable with all aspects of the present tense, this is your level. (Chapters 21-30)

Part 4: If you have taken Part 3 and feel comfortable with the present and conversational past tenses, this is your level. Here you will focus on subjunctive, conditional, and other more difficult aspects of the language. (Chapters 31-40)

Intermediate and Review: If you have completed the beginning language course or the equivalent of one full year of college language, this is your level. Review grammar and practice speaking.

Conversation: If you can converse on an elementary level and want to improve or maintain your conversation skills, this is the level for you. Grammar addressed only as the need arises.

Languages for Travel: If you have little or no exposure to the language and need survival skills quickly, this is the course for you. Learning vocabulary and role playing will help you make the most of your foreign visit.
