includedClass Experience
Part 1 Prerequisite: None Learning to read is the basic foundation to help language learners increase vocabulary to become fluent in the target language. This class is the first step to learning to read Spanish. Once learners know the names of the Spanish alphabet, they will already know the most important step in reading Spanish words. Each week on the selected day of the week at 8am Central Time, I will post a new pre-recorded video to view for instruction for that week. For the first 5 weeks, learners will be introduced to new common greetings and introductions in Spanish through song, then they will learn the names of 6 Spanish letters. During the last 3 weeks students will review what is learned. For the last week, learners have the option to send me a video of themselves saying the letters and phrases learned, and I will give feedback through video. Or we can schedule a brief live session to do so. Homework assignments will also be posted with a goal to complete one page per day. Assignments are to help learners practice what is introduced during the pre-recorded video sent for the week and are designed to be brief, simple, and engaging. Some assignments will involve playing games to practice what is learned. Here is the breakdown of the class: Week 1: Introduction, letters A-F Week 2: Greetings, letters G-L Week 3: Age, letters M-Q Week 4: Friends, letters R-W Week 5: Goodbye, letters X-Z and diagraphs Week 6: Review phrases and letters Week 7: Play Alphabet Game online Week 8: 1 on 1 Interview
Learning Goals

Teacher expertise and credentials
With my bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish, as well as my experience as a language learner and instructor, I bring a unique expertise to my Spanish classes. Having started learning Spanish in high school and continuing my studies at the university level, I have built a solid foundation in reading fluency and spoken proficiency.
Over the past 20+ years, I have immersed myself in the Spanish language and culture. My ability to read and speak Spanish without an English accent is a testament to my dedication and commitment to mastering the language.
What sets me apart as a Spanish teacher is my personal experience as a non-native Spanish speaker. I understand the challenges and complexities that English speakers face when learning Spanish. This relatability allows me to effectively explain concepts in a way that makes sense to English-speaking learners. Drawing from my own language learning journey, I can provide valuable insights and strategies to help students overcome obstacles and achieve their language goals.
For the past three years, I have been teaching Spanish classes virtually, and I have witnessed tremendous growth in my students' language abilities. Many of my students began with little to no knowledge of Spanish and, by the end of the school year, have gained the confidence to read in Spanish and engage in basic conversations.Reviews
