Beginner Level
My class is meant for anyone who wants to learn Spanish and would like the opportunity to improve. Maybe you are frustrated that your children are not progressing after many years studying the language or they were exposed to it a long time ago but lack fluency. During this class, we will cover all the basic topics such as nouns, genders, regular and irregular verbs in the present tense, common phrases, how introduce oneself, hobbies, colors, numbers, the weather, telling the time, asking for directions, expressing feelings and emotions... and much more. The Beginner class will be divided into two parts. Each class will focus on an independent topic and we will practice the vocabulary in useful and conversational ways. This class will give your children a chance to practice the vocabulary they know, learn new words, and learn how to use them in conversation. My main goal is to make students comfortable speaking basic Spanish. I intend to give them the tools to become independent learners by emphasizing active learning and motiving them to learn! Please Note: *This is a foreign language class. While participation is not required it is a necessary element for student success. Please keep that in mind when enrolling. *All classes will begin on time as long as there is at least one learner in the classroom. If 10 minutes after start time there are no students in the class the teacher will exit the classroom. This class cannot be taught with no students, so no recordings will be available for classes with zero attendance.
