1 hour per week. If you would like homework for your learner to keep them accountable please let me know. I will be happy to assign outside activities. I do not make it a required part of the course so that there is no pressure for busy families!Class Experience
Students do not need any experience or knowledge prior to this class. My teaching style for this course will be teaching basic phrases and vocabulary through images and repetition. Then students will get a chance to speak and respond to questions in Spanish so we can build friendships in the class through the language learned. Students will learn through repetition and connecting with me and other students. I always have cheat sheets already drawn out for learners to see conjugations in Spanish, and they use the cheat sheets to create conversation. With time they become more familiar with how conjugations work and no longer need the cheat sheets. Each lesson is learner led, meaning that the topic will be chosen based on the learners in the class and their ages, exposure to Spanish, etc. Topic A- How are you? What's your name, Where do you live? Topic B- Food+ To like Topic C- Pets + To have/To want Topic D- Friends/Family + To love+ Question words Topic E- Body parts+ To touch/ To see/ To hear/ eat Topic F- To play/Sports+ Games+Toys Topic G- To wear+ Clothes+ Colors+ Matching in boy/girl route Topic H- To be: Ser/Estar Topic I: To go+ Places+ Days of week Topic J: What do you like to do? + Activities+ Sports+ Instruments Topic K: Daily routine+ Furniture/House If your learner has prior exposure to Spanish, please let me know, as I may recommend them to join a specific group/ section. *Important: In this class, I often use special vocabulary created to describe certain aspects of Spanish grammar, in order for learners to make connections and therefore grasp concepts in a fun way. Instead of using the traditional, longer words, I replace them with symbolic words. If you would like me to include the actual term used in linguistics, please let me know and I will be more than happy to include the real terms in your learner's class. *Important: Classes end up being between 25-30 minutes long. If a learner needs to leave earlier than I dismiss the learners, they are welcome to say goodbye at any point.
