Welcome to Spanish level 2 Honors! This year will be both exciting and challenging as you continue your studies of the Spanish language and culture. You will continue to build upon what you already know and have many new and irreplaceable experiences along the way. There will be conversations, games and even virtual trips. There will be even more opportunities to read and write in Spanish to show off everything you know. There will be many opportunities to speak Spanish, so remember don’t be afraid to make mistakes!
