Beginner - Intermediate Level
Each class will focus on one episode of a Spanish Language Learning Series. Before each episode, the teacher will introduce key Spanish words and phrases, along with their English translations. These key terms will be featured in the episode. During each class, students will conjugate one regular and one irregular verb together. Following this, the episode will be played, featuring two native Spanish speakers from Mexico. They speak slowly and clearly, using visual cues to aid comprehension. This organic approach to learning through conversations helps learners develop a natural understanding of the language. After watching the video, students will discuss the episode to ensure full comprehension. Finally, they will play an interactive game that brings the language to life, fostering a deep understanding and love for Spanish. These games involve selecting the correct translations of vocabulary words, phrases, and verbs learned during the class. Four engaging solo game assignments will be posted after each class for continued practice, helping students retain the vocabulary. Each episode builds upon the previous ones, with repetition of key words providing valuable reinforcement for regular attendees. During the last class learners will review all of the words and phrases learned throughout the course. Active participation is expected during class, with learners answering questions and fully immersing themselves in the language experience.
