1-2 hours per week. At the end of this class, your learner will need to upload a video of themselves asking and answering the basic questions they have learned in this class, in español. If they do not feel comfortable recording themselves on camera, feel free to adapt the project and make a video with their avatar in their Minecraft world, or some other form of video project in which they are speaking in Spanish using what they have learned in class.Certificate of Completion
If you would like a certificate of completion, please send me a direct message with your learner's final project, and I will provide one for this class.Grading

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Foreign Language from Harding University
I am ACTFL tested as an Advanced-Mid Spanish speaker (although it is probably higher than that now because my testing was over 10 years ago). I have spent extensive time abroad and working with native Spanish speakers, translating and interpreting. I also have much experience evaluating language learner capabilities, both according to ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) as well as the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).
