Spanish has many significant and influential aspects behind it. It is one of the many Romance languages, along with French, Portuguese, Romanian, and Italian. Most of the language's syntax and grammar roots come from Latin, with 75% of words being rooted in Latin. Languages such as Arabic, Greek, and Native American languages have also influenced Spanish. Spanish was spread throughout the world when explorers came across the ocean from Spain in the 16th and 17th centuries. The language reached North, Central, and South America, and even the Caribbean. Today, there are more than 430 million people who are native Spanish speakers. Spanish is also the official language of somewhere around 20 countries. Some of these countries include Puerto Rico, Spain, Argentina, and Mexico. Most of the native speakers can be found in Central and South America.

What ideas will a Syracuse Spanish course go over?

Any language will have concepts that are hard to learn. While taking a Syracuse Spanish class, your instructor will go over rules and concepts of the Spanish language. One rule that will be talked about is verb conjugation. Verbs need to be changed based on number, gender, tense, voice, or person, just like in English, but Spanish has different words and potentially confusing rules for the verbs. If there is an exception to the rule, it will have to be memorized. Luckily, Spanish verb conjugation tends to be easier to understand than that of English. Another rule is that Spanish is a gender-based language. The language gives gender to nouns, for example. If a noun ends in "o," it is a masculine noun, and if a noun ends in "a," it is a feminine noun. Along with this rule is noun-adjective pairing. Adjectives must match a noun, both in gender and number. Other concepts covered are vocabulary, pluralization, written accents, and punctuation. A Spanish course will help you build confidence in your ability to handle these rules and concepts and leave you feeling ready to be immersed in a new culture.
