Class Experience

Beginner Level
This is a conversation-focused class designed to help you develop the language skills needed for meaningful, real-life interactions in Spanish.

What will be taught?
Your mission: Imagine you want to adopt a pet in a Spanish-speaking country. You arrive at the adoption center and need to provide information about yourself to gain their confidence and qualify for adoption. To prepare for this scenario, you will learn how to introduce yourself, state where you are from, where you live, and explain why you want to adopt a pet. This exercise will help you master the essential questions and answers that often arise in any first conversation in Spanish.

What topics will you cover?

Basic self-introduction phrases (name, age, where you live, what you do)
Key vocabulary related to pets and animals (types of pets, characteristics, needs)
Phrases for discussing personal interests and likes for adopting a pet
Practice filling out a pet adoption form in Spanish

How is your class structured?
The class will be structured in a combination of activities, interactive activities, and practical exercises:

Introduction: Warm up game Overview of the lesson and key vocabulary introduction.
Vocabulary Building: Interactive games and flashcards to learn new words related to pets and personal information.
Phrase and Vocabulary Games 
Role-Playing Scenarios: Students will participate in simulated conversations
Guided Pronunciation Practice 
Language focus game
Recap of key phrases and vocabulary, and assignment of practice exercises.

How will you teach?
The lesson will be taught using a mix of direct instruction, multimedia resources, and interactive activities. Students will learn through:

Visual aids and slides to introduce and reinforce vocabulary.
Role-playing exercises to simulate real-life situations and practice speaking.
Games to make learning fun and engaging.
Discussion sessions to deepen understanding and encourage student participation.
Audio clips

What's your teaching style?
My teaching style is interactive and student-centered. I believe in creating a dynamic and supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable practicing their Spanish. I use a combination of visual, auditory, and gamified teaching methods to cater to different learning styles and keep the class engaging and enjoyable.

How much will learners get to interact with you?
Learners will have multiple opportunities to interact with me throughout the lesson. They will engage in:

Live sessions during and after each section of the lesson.
Direct feedback during role-playing activities and practice exercises.
Interactive games and activities that require participation and engagement.
Small group discussions where I will facilitate and guide conversations.
One-on-one interactions during the class to address individual questions and provide personalized feedback.
By the end of the lesson, students will feel confident using Spanish in a pet adoption context and be prepared for similar real-life conversations.

Learning Goals

Develop Basic Conversational Skills like essential phrases and vocabulary needed for introducing oneself and providing personal information. Express Personal Interests and Preferences. Improve Pronunciation, Listening and Comprehension.

Hello! Thank you for your interest in my classes. Here's a little about me. 
I have been a language teacher for over twelve years. My native languages are Spanish and English. I have completed many courses in language instruction and curriculum development but I have gained the most knowledge from the many years of teaching.
 I first began my language teaching journey teaching the kids in my care Spanish, later I moved to Mexico and began teaching English in the classroom but my passion for teaching language really ignited when I began my own summer language camps for kids. 
 In the past couple of years I have learned ways to translate my methods of teaching to the online platform.
 I have developed my own style and method of teaching using a natural and interest based approach. Experience has taught me that children learn best when their interest is sparked. I am always learning new ways to improve my student’s experience with learning a new language,
I know learning languages can open up many opportunities to explore new worlds and meet new people. I hope to soon spark a love for learning a new language in your children.
