Beginner Level
¡Hola! Sing, move, and play games in Spanish! We will pretend to be in Costa Rica and learn colors, rainforest animals, and weather phrases. We will also learn some basic conversational phrases for introductions and emotions. No experience is necessary to be successful. The first class will be a mix of Spanish and English to build confidence and I will slowly use more Spanish with the students as the class continues. All classes will include singing and games to maintain high interest and have fun! 🇨🇷 ¡Pura Vida! 🇨🇷
Learning Goals
Students will improve their basic Spanish speaking skills and foster an excitement for language learning by pretending to travel to a Spanish speaking country. In this class we will learn the names of rainforest animals from Costa Rica, learn how to describe the weather of the rainforest and practice some basic conversational skills. I look forward to inspiring a love of language learning while also having a fun time!
