1-2 hours per week. At the end of this class, your learner will need to upload a video of themselves forming basic sentences asking and answer one question for the verbs “necesitar,” “usar,” “caminar,” and “buscar,” 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
Given that this is a self-paced class, I will not be assigning a letter grade. Please let me know if you would like an individualized assessment of your learner.Class Experience
Beginner Level
In this 4 week self-paced course, your learner will continue their Spanish language journey revisiting our verbs "necesitar" (need) and "usar" (use) and add on two new verbs: "buscar" (look for) and "caminar" (walk), in a stress-free environment. Profe Laura provides useful videos explaining the different expressions and modeling pronunciation, so your learner can watch and re-watch until they feel comfortable with the material.
Learning Goals
Practice using "necesitar" and "usar" in sentences and questions.
Use "caminar" (walk) in sentences.

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).
