Language classification: this is a Spanish language resource.
Quality resource: this resource is a featured learning resource.



Welcome learners to learning the Spanish language as a foreign language. Spanish will help you succeed & aid you when visiting a Spanish-speaking country or learning another Romance language, such as French or Italian. Today, 21 countries in Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, and Equatorial Guinea use Spanish as their official language and in the United States it is rapidly gaining status as a foreign language course in high schools and as a potential second language. 500 million people today speak Spanish worldwide and it is an easy language to learn for native or fluent speakers of English or Romance languages. The cultures of Spanish-speaking countries are rich in literature, food, music, and the arts. Throughout this course, you will find fact sections that contain facts about Spanish-speaking countries or their cultures.

This course uses the Spanish Wikibook for its textbook. You will be asked to read selections from that book throughout the course. The Wikibook is, in some ways, a course in and of itself—do not be confused if it makes reference to its own course or chapters!

This is the first complete Spanish course to be offered at Wikiversity. We hope that there will be more Spanish courses - Spanish courses for different purposes, for different kinds of student, or courses which reflect different approaches to teaching or structuring lessons. This course does not yet offer multimedia experiences, quizzes or other interactivity, so contributions along these lines are especially welcome.
