Welcome learners to learning the Spanish language as a foreign language. This course is designed to help speakers of English learn the Spanish language.

Today, 21 countries in Latin America, Europe (Spain) and Africa (Equatorial Guinea) use Spanish as their official language; and in the United States it is offered as a foreign language course in almost all high schools and is rapidly gaining ground as a potential second language. Over 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.

Other Spanish Resources

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.
