I would like to welcome you to Spanish 101 class. I am excited for you to  learn another language. I would like to take a minute of your time to share the goals of this course. You will be exposed to basic Spanish and gradually encouraged to speak. The course will include asking for information, describing people and objects, narrating, shopping, ordering food and expressing opinions in Spanish as well as familiarizing you with  different countries, cultures and important figures of the Spanish speaking world.
