There's a few ways you could go about this...
     1. You could download the package "dict-freedict-spa-eng" from
        synaptic, and plug that into the "Dictionary" tool under
        "Applications > Office"... but this may not be exactly what
        you're looking for, seeing as since you're taking a spanish
        class you're probably goign to be in more frequent need of a
        translator than a dictionary with definitions...
     2. You can check out "Freespeak" (search Add/Remove for it), which
        is a frontend for several web-based translators which you can
        use to translate blocks of text at a whim
     3. You can just go straight to the source and visit a free online
        web translator to get quick fairly accurate translations for
        words and phrases. My favorite for this is freetranslation.com
        or translate.google.com, but theres other good ones out there.
     4. Install and try Gnome Translate (also found in Add/Remove). It's
        basically an offline version of some online translators that
        runs on libtranslate. I tried it out real fast and it seemed
        pretty nice.

Hope that helps!
