GENERAL SPANISH LANGUAGE QUESTIONS

Before you take a placement test, try out these yes/no questions.  You may decide quickly what level you belong in.

1.    Do you feel knowledgeable about language-related, non-linguistic topics?  (history, food, customs, culture, music, geography, local idioms, politics, sports, current events, etc.)

2.    Have you studied Spanish within the last 5 years?

3.    Could you describe an object to a person in Spanish and have them guess what it is?

4.    Can you order and make requests in a restaurant situation?

5.    Have you spent more than 2 months living in a Spanish-speaking country?

6.    Do you speak to people at work in Spanish on a fairly regular basis?

7.    If you found you were right in between the two levels, would you prefer to be the least prepared in the group and push yourself over taking the beginners class for a review of the basics.

Your Spanish level - if you have answered 'yes':

- to half or less than half of these questions, you belong in a Spanish 1 or 2 class.
- to over half of these questions, you belong in a Spanish 3 and 4 class.
- to all of the questions you belong in the Advanced class.

(If you are unsure about which class to take, you may request a more course-specific test by calling 920-403-4075 or emailing languageservices@snc.edu.)
