Beginner Level
This class is great for students who want to begin learning the Spanish language. Students will learn everyday basics such as common phrases and expressions, basic vocabulary, and foundational grammar rules. Each lesson will be a video or presentation for students to watch that teaches students the terms or vocabulary within the topic, emphasizing pronunciation and grammar. Then students will complete different activities and assessments to help them practice the material and present to me what they have learned. These activities might include things like interactive game-based activities to help them remember vocabulary words in an engaging and meaningful way, self-recorded videos to help students practice their speaking, or worksheets that help students build their Spanish literacy skills. I also like to provide learners with different catchy songs for each topic that they can sing to help them remember vocabulary and expressions. This can be beneficial to students with specific learning styles and makes something like memorization more engaging and fun. Students will walk away from the course having the foundational skills to have basic conversations in Spanish and to be ready to take a more challenging course and further their Spanish education.

Teacher expertise and credentials
As someone who learned a second language in a class setting, I know what works best and what doesn't. I am not a native Spanish speaker, however I have become fully bilingual after taking Spanish courses from Kindergarten all the way through college. Additionally, I am an elementary school Spanish teacher. I teach students grades 3-4 the basics of Spanish to help them begin their journey with the Spanish language. Reviews
