Interaction is a key part of this class. Throughout the lesson, your child will have multiple opportunities to interact with me and their peers. From participating in games like “Guess Who?” to engaging in role-play activities, your child will be actively involved. I’ll be guiding them every step of the way, offering feedback, encouragement, and support to ensure they feel confident using their new language skills. •This class is perfect for families seeking a focused, one-time lesson that introduces or reinforces key Spanish language concepts in a fun and meaningful way.
