Spanish (LISP) Courses
First Year
Second Year
Students who are planning to continue studying the language or its literature may want to take LTSP 2A rather than LISP 1D/DX. To discuss your particular situation, please contact your advisor.
LISP Courses
The Conversation and Analysis sections are two halves of one course and need to be taken together.
Both are designed to immerse you in the language and give you a practical ability as quickly as possible.
Conversation Sections (1A, 1B, 1C, 1D)
Conversation (MWF) classes focus on vocabulary development, cultural knowledge, and speaking Spanish.
Analysis Sections (1AX, 1BX, 1CX, 1DX)
Analysis (TuTh) classes focus on listening, reading, and learning how to analyze the Spanish language and culture.
