Spanish
About 40% of Los Angeles County residents speak Spanish. Would you like to be among them?
Everyone who lives in Los Angeles hears Spanish spoken and sees Spanish signs.
Spanish is spoken in Spain, Mexico, Central and South America, the United States, and in other countries.
Our Spanish courses are taken by students in the Palms Spanish World Language Immersion program, and to other students with an interest in learning Spanish.
Spanish 1AB
In the year-long Spanish 1AB elective at Palms, you can begin learning the four basic Spanish communication skills:
- Speaking
- Listening
- Reading
- Writing
This elective is not recommended if Spanish is your native or primary language.
Spanish 2
This elective is for students who have completed Spanish 1AB with a grade of C or better in a previous school year.
This elective is not recommended if Spanish is your native or primary language.
High School and Beyond
A year of foreign language is a requirement to graduate from high school.
To be eligible for state colleges and universities, you must take 2 years of the same language, with 3 recommended for University for California admission.
By taking Spanish 1, or both Spanish 1 and 2 in middle school, you earn 1 or 2 years of foreign language credit ahead of high school.
