    Bienvenidos a la clase de Espaol 2!Our language is the reflection of ourselves. A language is an exact reflection of the character and

    growth of its speakers. ----Cesar Chavez

    Bienvenidos! My name is Seorita Evans, and I am delighted to be the instructor for Spanish 2 thissemester. With close to 500 million people speaking Spanish worldwide, your childs decision tocontinue with Espaol 2 is an important and rewarding decision.

    The focus in Spanish 2 will further expand upon what your child has already learned in Spanish 1,integrating vocabulary, grammar, and culture so that by the end of this course, your child will be ableto: use language authentically and understand the intersection of culture and language.

    Bienvenidos!
