Class Experience

Beginner Level
Would you like your learner to progress with Spanish? This beginner language course helps students be able to communicate with other Spanish speakers. It is important to care about Spanish speakers.

This Spanish class includes learning Spanish culture, conversation and language. As a tutor, I'll guide students to learn common phrases so that we can have easy conversations with Spanish speakers. The teaching style can allow for the students to express themselves and also interact with one another.

There are many Spanish-speaking cultures, which include different vocabulary, customs and more. For example, there are different cultures in just one country such as Mexico! You'll see differences and similarities also if you compare Mexico to Argentina. Many Spanish-speaking cultures are social, and music, food and dance are popular.

Many Spanish speakers have left their homes from other countries to look for work. Also, not all know how to read and write in Spanish like we do in English. If you live in the United States or Canada, it may be that Spanish speakers from your area come from Guatemala, El Salvador or Honduras. Or maybe they are from Cuba or Puerto Rico. It's reasonable to say they may be happy when people can speak their language.

What would you like to learn during this Spanish class? Please tell me, and we can try to include it into our lessons.

**Typical Class Outline**

5 min             Greet and homework review
20 min           Class Content
                               Primary material 
                               Grammar (if applicable)
                               Breakout rooms if needed to strengthen conversation
                               Project/assignment presentation (if applicable)
5 min             Conclusion including homework, ending with motivation!

In each class, I like to include:

*translating the students' thoughts into Spanish if applicable,
*grammar to varying degrees if applicable,
*screensharing so the students can see written what we are talking about, and
*a blend of class instruction and breakout rooms for efficiency depending on the class size.

A goal of the aforementioned is for the class to be more interesting, relevant and easier to remember.

***Other Specifics***
       Lecture, games, discussion, videos, flashcards

***Assignments/Projects***
        Practicing a dialogue and other questions with a Spanish speaker, accompanied by one's parents
        Researching the people and culture of a Spanish-speaking country of your choice
        Fun with food from Spanish-speaking cultures

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. This way we can soar with Spanish, together!
Learning Goals
Students will enjoy learning Spanish as we follow a schedule of topics to learn. By the end of the course, students will have expanded their knowledge of the human qualities, school activities, running errands, and more.
The content builds upon the approximate equivalence of Soar with Spanish 3, with a more detailed look into grammar and sentence structure.
