Spanish Language I

The course gives an introduction to Spanish grammar with emphasis on theoretical issues as well as practical use of the language.

The students should acquire a theoretical knowledge of Spanish grammar that serves as a basis for the correct use of written and spoken Spanish. They should be able to understand and explain central grammatical notions in Spanish, and be familiar with the main differences between Norwegian and Spanish. The students should get a general view of Spanish morphology and a short introduction to phonology, phonetics and syntax.

Lectures and group sessions. The students are expected to participate in conversation exercises in pairs and in groups. A good progression depends on the students' degree of participation in lectures and group sessions.
