Unit 1 – Bienvenidos

Welcome to Spanish


Unit 1 builds your foundation. By the end of these twelve lessons, you will be able to pronounce Spanish accurately, greet people of all ages, introduce yourself as a Christian missionary, count and handle numbers, tell time, describe your family, and name the places you’ll visit on a mission trip.

These are the words and skills that will make your first hours in Latin America functional rather than overwhelming.

Unit 1 Learning Goals:

  • Pronounce all Spanish sounds correctly
  • Greet people formally and informally at any time of day
  • Introduce yourself: name, origin, faith, purpose

  • Count from 1 to 1,000
  • State days, months, and dates
  • Tell time
  • Describe things by color and size
  • Name family members
  • Identify key places in a community
