Italian term or phrase: Elementi
Buongiorno.........da inserire in un curriculum: "Elementi di grammatica e sintassi della lingua Spagnola". Per la seconda parte della frase, avrei pensato: Spanish sintax and grammar", ma su "Elementi" non ho proprio idee.
Grazie in anticipo!

@Asker:
"Fundamental ..." is essentially synonymous with "Basics of ..." or "Elementary ..." as suggested by others above. To me, all 3 solutions suggest beginner level, rather than intermediate.

"Fundamental grasp of Spanish (grammar and syntax)" might work in this context.
Otherwise, simply "Basic Spanish" as Laura has suggested.

Asker: Colin, se questi elementi erano già a un livello intermedio, posso ugualmente usare "Fundamental?" Grazie!
