US Grade 2 - 5
Beginner - Intermediate Level
Want to: - Give your learner a semester's worth of valuable exposure to introductory Spanish sounds, questions, sentences, and songs on your own schedule? - Reduce "Zoom fatigue" through multiple modes of learning on and offline: educational videos, audio, writing, movement, flashcards, and coloring pages? - Help "hook" your learner to the magic of Spanish in an engaging and comfortable format (especially ideal for shy learners, students apprehensive to speak in live classes, etc.)? In this semester-long beginner Spanish flex class, your learner will Spanish sounds, vocabulary, conversations, songs and more! NOTE: This class has NO live meetings and follows a "self-paced schedule format", allowing learners to work at any time through the course material. The teacher can always be reached through the Outschool classroom and through messaging on Outschool if a learner needs specific assistance. Each lesson, learners will receive: 1. 2-3 videos: Engaging educational video(s) of me teaching the week's content and song (with props and digital effects) that encourages students to repeat and participate 2. Printable Flashcards: While learners should act out the movements they see on screen while the songs are playing, the flashcards can be used to help them review and practice at home! 3. 2 Coloring Pages/Worksheets: Learners can listen to the lesson video/song and practice repeating and singing while they complete the worksheets 4. A "cheat sheet" of all the week's content in a virtual "classroom" Each lesson, learners will create a short audio or video of themselves saying the vocabulary words or singing the Spanish song (whichever they feel more comfortable with). I will leave feedback on each video that is posted and assist with pronunciation as needed. NOTE: Class materials are not full immersion and there will be some English used as needed. Almost all of the flashcards will be represented with pictures without text rather than direct translation, but the videos and classroom discussion will include some translation. The "cheat sheet" for each week contains translations for all of the content so that parents do not have to take notes!
