Beginner Spanish for Equestrians: Communicating at the Barn en Español

Students will learn to properly communicate in Spanish while at the barn. Learners will be encouraged to speak in full sentences as much as possible by combining the vocabulary terms and grammatical concepts focused on in each class session.

I am a certified Spanish teacher with over sixteen years experience teaching middle school and high school Spanish. I have also been an equestrian for many years and own my own small farm with three horses.  I am an adjunct professor for Post University's Equine Studies program. I am a dressage rider and adult amateur competitor with the United States Dressage Federation and often have to communicate at the barn with Spanish speakers.

No required homework will be assigned for this class although students are encouraged to practice using their vocabulary as much as possible between lessons.

55 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

Many of my lessons include interactive activities for students to complete in the form of Nearpod and Pear Deck lessons.  I utilize EdPuzzle and Kahoot whenever possible to further students' comprehension and communication skills. To participate in these interactive activities, students click on session links I post in the Zoom chat during our live meetings. No personal information will ever be required of students in order to participate in these activities. Many times, I simply screen share lesson activities for students to view during the lesson.
