Course Description: Here we will start really talking about verb conjugation and what it really means. The present tense will be learned (both regular verbs and the most common irregulars), and will be practiced by ear to promote fluency. The student will be introduced to the difference between subject and object, and be able to talk about where they are going, who they are (ser) and talk about everyday activities with some ease. They will be able to ask directions, make a date and appointment, and speak about time, both relative and specific hours.
