The Spanish Basic Course in Latin American dialect prepares students to function effectively in conversations. Pronunciation, inflection, and intonation are heavily stressed. The text material has accompanying phonetic spellings written in Spanish.

Units 1 - 15 introduce gender present tense verbs whose infinitives end in "ar," "er," and "ir," the irregular verbs "estar," "se," and "haber," adjectives, possessives, present perfect and present progressive forms, and object pronouns.

Units 16-30 present supplemental readings, past tenses, irregular verbs, and reflexive pronouns.

Units 31-45 introduce nominalized verbs and adjectives, numbers, past progressive and present subjunctive verb forms, days of the week, months, and colors.

Units 46-55 drop the phonetic spellings, introduce past, past perfect and present perfect subjunctives, conditional tenses, and passive voices, and noun-forming suffixes.
