As a native Spanish speaker, a mom, a high school Spanish teacher with nearly 10 years of experience, and a seasoned traveler, I bring a wealth of knowledge to teaching the language. I’ve traveled to multiple destinations around the world, which enhances my ability to teach Spanish with a focus on real-life travel scenarios. I encourage my students to explore multiple languages—just as I do with my own children. Learning Spanish opens doors to new opportunities, friendships, and cultural experiences, especially when it comes to travel. Mastering a second language has countless benefits. It sharpens memory, boosts creativity, and improves problem-solving skills. It also allows students to connect with people from different cultures, building empathy and a broader perspective. Plus, it increases confidence as students practice and grow in their language abilities. In this advanced class, students will explore practical, real-life topics related to travel, such as vacations, telling time, places in a city, city life, asking for directions, and handling money. Through interactive lessons and activities, they will expand their vocabulary and conversational skills in a dynamic, supportive environment. Whether students are refining their Spanish for travel or looking to deepen their knowledge, this class is the perfect next step. Each lesson will introduce new vocabulary and phrases related to travel, with interactive slides to keep learning engaging. We’ll wrap up each class with fun activities like conversation practice or role-playing scenarios to reinforce what’s been learned. Class highlights include: - Creative visual aids (Canva slides) - Practical conversation practice around travel and city life - Interactive role-playing and activities - Supportive, engaging atmosphere - Worksheets for extra practice at home If a student prefers not to participate or speak during class, just let me know. My goal is to create a comfortable, positive learning space where every student feels supported. Whether building on current skills or preparing for travel, students are welcome to join! What Makes This Class Unique: - Experienced Instructor: With nearly 10 years of teaching experience and extensive travel knowledge, I design lessons tailored for advanced learners. - Interactive Learning: Lessons are engaging, with travel-focused discussions, games, and role-plays. - Personalized Attention: I focus on each student's progress, helping them build confidence and fluency as they improve. This advanced Spanish class offers a practical, interactive approach to mastering vocabulary and conversation skills, with a focus on real-world travel scenarios, helping students confidently navigate their Spanish-speaking journeys.
