<p>I am currently enrolled in SPN 610D class.
People around have been telling me that it is really difficult.
English was my second language.
Can anyone tell me what the class is like in SPN 610D?
Is it really that challenging and difficult if you don't have any spanish background?</p>
<p>Very difficult (to get an A- or A) from what I heard from my friends. Lots of homework, quizzes, exams that are based on reading/writing/listening. Would not take (I took Korean for an easy A lol).</p>
<p>I’ve heard horrors stories about Spanish at UT from people on here… It makes me nervous, but its something that I really want to do. If you study hard enough, I bet you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>There are 2 types of SPN 610D - regular and for heritage speakers. </p>

<p>are you a heritage speaker? If English was your second language, was Spanish first?</p>

<p>I’m trying to decide what Foreign Language to take, and I want to take the easiest language I can. Did you really think Korean was easy? Can you recommend any others?</p>
<p>Xcellerator might be a heritage speaker. :D</p>
<p>In the 6 hour Spanish classes, there is a lot of homework and listening, speaking and writing exercises. Constant practice is necessary if you seriously want to learn a foreign language, so in principle this is good, but it sucks if you just need the credit, which is the case for most people.</p>
<p>Is it hard? Yes, especially if you don’t like learning languages. What got most people in my Spanish classes was constant grammar and vocabulary and translation quizzes and things of that sort that they just didn’t feel motivated to study for. However, as far as the languages themselves go, Spanish probably really is the easiest one offered at UT, so I think you’ll just have to grin and bear it, unfortunately. The harsh truth is that NO foreign language course is going to be an “easy A” for you unless you’re a native speaker of the language or really motivated to put in the necessary amount of work.</p>

<p>I would say Korean is one of the easiest. I am not Korean and barely knew anything about the language besides the Korean Drama/Music that I watch from it (when I have the spare time lol). Didn’t really study a lot and it wasn’t a lot of work. Did homework night before and barely studied for quizzes/exams. Would have to say I had the best professor in Korean than all my other Bio/Chem/Phy classes. Almost a guaranteed A- or A. :D</p>

Nope! Haha xD</p>
