Many students from schools like West High School and Highland High School need to take language courses in order to fulfill a general education requirement, and Spanish is one of the most popular choices. That's because knowing Spanish can be a very beneficial skill not just when you travel to Spanish-speaking countries but also right here in the US. It is, after all, the second most spoken language in the country with over 45 million people as native speakers or second-language speakers. College students in schools like The University of Utah may take a Salt Lake City Spanish class to add to their language skills, which could help them in their future career.

Spanish is considered one of the easiest languages to learn for native English speakers. It is also very practical considering its wide reach. With that said, it can still be very challenging to learn different grammar and sentence structure rules. However, taking a Spanish course through Varsity Tutors lets you learn in a very supportive environment with professional teachers. This means you can learn the basics as smoothly as possible and steadily progress toward your language learning goals. Whether you are a total beginner or someone who already knows how to speak but wants to refresh what you have learned, enrolling in our Spanish course can have a positive impact on your overall language journey.

What material will a Salt Lake City Spanish course cover?

Similar to other Romance languages, such as French and Italian, Spanish is a gender-based language. What this means is that you'll need to learn nouns together with their proper gender. For example, masculine nouns usually have an "o" ending, while feminine nouns have an "a" ending. Just like with other languages, there are exceptions to this rule that you will eventually discuss in class.

You will also cover plural forms in Spanish. Here are some pluralization rules to give you an idea of what you can expect to learn in class:

• If a noun ends with a vowel, add -s.
• If a noun ends with a consonant, you add -es.
• If a noun ends with a -z, change the z to c before adding -es.
• If a noun ends with ión, drop the written accent before adding -es.
• If the plural refers to a mixed group, then use the masculine.
• For compound nouns, change -el to los.

Besides nouns and their plural forms, you can also discuss adjective-noun pairing. In Spanish, adjectives being used to describe nouns must agree with their number and gender. This can be a bit of a challenge for learners, but you can have opportunities to practice adjective-noun pairing in class with your instructor there to guide you.

Other topics that will be covered in your Spanish class include verbs and verb conjugation, written accents, pronunciation, and grade-appropriate vocabulary. You can practice the things you have learned by doing exercises and conversing with other students in the class. If there are any topics that you might not understand immediately, you can request a 1-on-1 lesson with your instructor so you can address these problem areas immediately.

How will a Salt Lake City Spanish class help me learn?

Studying Spanish with a professional teacher can be an excellent solution, especially for beginners in the language. That's because you could learn the basics much faster than doing it alone. With a teacher working with you, you can immediately ask questions and get relevant answers. The learning process can become less frustrating and more enjoyable, potentially increasing your motivation and making you want to learn more about the language.

Also, with a Varsity Tutors' Salt Lake City Spanish course, you get personalized attention from your instructor. For example, whenever you make a grammar mistake, your instructor can point it out and correct the mistake immediately. When studying a new language, it is very important to learn basic grammar properly from a good teacher.
