I use English to explain the content in the videos, and I designed the activities and assignments to practice Spanish going from simple structures to gradually more complex ones as the learner progresses in the course. The goal is to give multiple opportunities to practice the language for every piece of content that I cover in the lessons. This course is divided into 12 lessons. Students will ideally spend one week per lesson. Each lesson contains 5-7 videos from 5 to 10 minutes each. The videos are highly interactive to practice with my guidance the communicative goal of each lesson. Learners will have access to the video content in pdf form that they can download. Each lesson interactive assignments will check their comprehension and Spanish use. Learners will also be able to choose to write or record audios to complete additional practice.
