Department of Spanish and Portuguese

This introductory and intensive course is designed for students with two or more years of high-school Spanish study and covers the essential beginning grammar and vocabulary of our first year Spanish courses, S100 and S150. Courses are all taught in Spanish at a level appropriate for the course. Students will practice speaking in small groups in class and will read and discuss a variety of topics in Spanish. Grading is based on exams, homework, participation, attendance, and a final exam. As this course covers all of the material of HISP-S100 and HISP-S150, the homework load is substantial. Credit is not given for both HISP-S105 and HISP-S100 or HISP-S105 and HISP-S150.  The next course in the sequence is HISP-S200 Second Year Spanish I.

To see our HISP active courses and class times for Spring 2026, go to One.IU, Student Center and search on HISP-S for Spanish, HISP-P for Portuguese and HISP-C for Catalan.
