Spanish 1, Saludos...... The Zócalo, or city square of Mexico City is the second largest city square in the world, second only to Moscow's city square. The colonial church in the background is the Catedral Metropolitana and was built from stones that were once Aztec structures. To the far right, is the Palacio Nacional, where the government offices are and in which are housed several very well known murals of Mexican artist, Diego Rivera. This area of Mexico City was the heart of the Aztec capital city called Tenochtitlán. It was in this area, in the 1970s, that construction workers unearthed the Templo Mayor of the Aztec civilization, and excavations are still being done in this and many other areas of Mexico.

Welcome to ¡Saludos!

In Spanish I A you will be learning many exciting aspects of Spanish, not just vocabulary and pronunciation.  You will be traveling the virtual Spanish world and presenting your findings in a variety of ways, interacting with your classmates and your teacher on the Discussion Board, and using your new Spanish in real, practical situations.

Each unit in this course is divided into three sections. Each section will contain material that will build upon material that was presented in the previous section. It will be very important for you to work consistently and in order as you begin to build your skills in Spanish, beginning right here, with the first unit.

If you have not read the Getting Started section, go and do that now.
