Spring 2019 Adult Spanish Classes

It’s that time of year again and Spring 2019 Adult Spanish Classes are now available. Both an introductory class and an advanced class will be available starting in February. This course is for adults. Those who have taken these courses previously have included parents of Dual Language students, a teachers and principals, and members of the community.

Students in both Spanish I and Spanish II should expect homework. Spanish I students will learn fundamental vocabulary & concepts in Spanish. Everything will be applied in conversation. Students will have fun and become conversant at a basic level.

Spanish II course is a continuation of the Spanish I class taught in the Fall. If a student believes they have enough Spanish under their belt to take on Spanish II, they should contact the instructor ahead of time to confirm. Spanish II focuses on conversation using material covered in Spanish I. Students will also study the 2 past tenses in Spanish.

The Spanish I class will meet on Thursdays, Feb. 21 – May 2, with no class during Spring Break. The Spanish II class will be held on Wednesdays, Feb. 20 – May. 1, with no class during Spring Break. Both classes meet 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. at the ESDC Building B at 1820 Pearl Street, Carrollton, TX 75006.

The cost for CFB employees is $50, with a cost of $100 for non-employees. Employees should register through Eduphoria on the Staff Portal. All others may register by calling 972-968-6513, or by e-mailing the instructor, Georgina Tezer.
