Hola y Bienvenidos!

In this ongoing semi-private beginner Spanish class, we will meet once a week to learn beginner-level Spanish (if you are interested in having sessions more than once a week please feel free to send me a message). 

🌟 Who is this class for?
1) This class is designed for beginner Spanish students. 
2) Students with little to no previous exposure to the Spanish language.
3) Students who want to not only learn Spanish but also have fun!
4) Students who do well working in small groups (2 students, 1 teacher).

🌟Lesson Topics Based on Student's Level and Interests!
1) Learning to count
2) Learning the alphabet
3) Greetings & Introductions
4) Colors
5) Personal pronouns (yo, tú, usted, él, ella, elle, ellos, ellas, elles, nosotros, nosotras, nosotres)
**Please note in this class I include the use of the non-binary personal pronouns- elle(s)
6) Building awareness of how to create plural nouns
7) Building awareness of subject-verb agreement
8) Build awareness of adjective-noun agreement
9) Age-appropriate vocabulary (animals, food, family, days of the week, weather etc.).

🌟Teaching Approach
1) Our number one priority is making your student feel welcome and included. We understand that when students feel comfortable they are more open to learning new things.

2) Vocabulary in this course is learned through exaggerated facial expressions, TPR (total physical response), pictures, songs, games, and props to help your child make associations between new words and their meaning. 

3) Teachers speak slowly and clearly and model sentence frames and vocabulary for students. After modeling the sentence frames the students and teacher will practice them in a call and response manner. 

4) Class activities include a mix of speaking, listening and writing/drawing activities. Teachers may utilize Nearpod (https://nearpod.com/) in class presentations so that students can demonstrate their understanding in a nonverbal manner by drawing on presentation slides. 

6) This course is designed to give students repeat exposure to the target vocabulary and sentence frames so they have plenty of opportunities to practice and master the lesson objectives.

7) I am open to any suggestions and as I learn more about your child I am happy to incorporate their specific interests into our lessons so that they continue to be excited about learning the Spanish language. 


I am so excited to share my love of the Spanish language with your students through fun and interactive activities! 

Nos Vemos Pronto :)
