Spanish 1 information and difficulty
Is Spanish 1 on SpanishDict.com the same level of difficulty and knowledge as Spanish 1, in either high school or college? Or is it their own level of Spanish 1?

I do not think that the difference in content of SpanishDict lesson 1 and a university first semester Spanish course is enough to even bother considering. The big difference is the delivery method. Both are good but different. In a Spanish class there is the interaction between the student and la professora (or el professor) and the other students. There are more immediate and intense listening and speaking factors. There is the opportunity to ask questions. There is the "opportunity" to be put on the spot by having to provide the answers to questions or practice exercises and there is the built-in discipline of having to go to class regularly. I think both supplement the other quite well.
The material covered in SpanishDict lesson 1 is very close to what is covered in Spanish 101 (the first semester of Spanish) at the university where I have been studying Spanish.
