IFSA LANGUAGE CLASSES
Developing skills in a foreign language can profoundly impact your life personally and professionally. Though language study (other than Essential Spanish) is not required, students frequently report their Spanish language class as one of their favorites and the one they applied most outside the classroom.

Essential Spanish (1 U.S. semester credit hour)
If you've never taken Spanish and you decide not to take an elective language class, you'll take this introductory seminar taught intensively during the first weeks of the program. By introducing key words and phrases and venturing out into the city to practice them, this class also provides insights into local customs and daily life. Right from the start, you'll gain essential skills to communicate effectively and navigate in a new culture.

Spanish Language (3 U.S. semester credit hours)
No prior language study is required. A pre-arrival placement evaluation will determine your appropriate language level.

• Beginning Spanish I
• Beginning Spanish II
• Intermediate Spanish I
• Intermediate Spanish II
• Advanced Spanish I
• Advanced Spanish II
