What's included

Homework
1 hour per week. I estimate the work for this class to take roughly an hour each week between written homework, learner-to-learner interaction activities, brief readings, and the Kahoot quiz.

Class Experience

Come conjugate the three kinds of stem-changing verbs in Spanish in the context of fun sentences and silly stories in this flexible schedule (no live meetings) course! This class is designed for learners who have at least a little background in Spanish, which can motivate them to improve verb conjugation skills with the aim of growing in conversation ability. Also, it assumes some practice conjugating regular verbs and familiarity with personal subject pronouns and how those relate to verb conjugations. For those who do not have any previous practice with personal subject pronouns and/or verb conjugations, I highly recommend first taking my course "¡Conjuguemos! Parte 1." Please note that this is not a Spanish immersion course, and English explanations will be used to aid in understanding of the material. 

Here is the layout for this course:
Week 1 - UE stem-changing verb conjugations
Week 2 - IE stem-changing verb conjugations
Week 3 - I stem-changing verb conjugations
Week 4 - Review and further practice 

Each week has five main components:
1. Pre-recorded lesson 
2. Written homework worksheet(s) 
3. Learner-to-learner activities*
4. A brief passage to read in Spanish (which uses the verb types we are working on)**
5. Kahoot quiz

*Our learner-to-learner interaction activities for this class include:
1. Conjugation tag:
I "tag" someone by telling them a verb in the infinitive form and a pronoun to conjugate it with. They are "it" until they conjugate the verb correctly AND they give someone else a verb and a pronoun to conjugate with it, and so on.
2. Silly sentence challenge:
Picking one or more verbs from the week, each learner writes a silly sentence. Strive for grammatically correct, but it does not have to make logical sense!
3. Sentence string game:
I start a sentence and add on "y" (and) then a new subject. The next person continues the sentence with a verb conjugated for that pronoun I gave and adds "y" with another pronoun for the next person to use, and so forth until we have created a long sentence together. 

**I provide a recording of my reading of the passage and ask learners to record their readings in an audio or video file and submit for feedback. I provide personalized video or audio feedback on weekly video or audio homework submissions. 

Most of the stories and sentences from the lessons and worksheets are written by me, the instructor. Sometimes I may incorporate the work of others, but only when it is in the public domain or I have expressly received permission from the creator.
