@happy2help, I think we’re saying the same thing: Spanish 1 (5 units) at SMC fulfills the IGETC 1 year requirement.
At CSM, you need to take 2 5-units (for some unfathomable reason). My daughter had to do that.
But generally most of the single 5-units appear to fulfill IGETC = 1 college year from what I have gathered up here, and read.
Of course, OP needs to see what course is listed on his IGETC to determine the year equivalency and work it out with his advisor.
That’s what I was saying, which is what I think you were saying. 
Plus he has the 4 years of hs language that should figure somehow.
