In this beginning Spanish exploratory hour, students will be amazed how much they can understand spoken Spanish about a cultural photo, and they will be able to offer their opinions on American versus Mexican tacos.

Class Experience

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  Let's test it out!  With a taco picture.

I choose my words carefully, so that a student who has never taken a Spanish course will be able to understand as I speak Spanish.  This class may help learners decide if they want to learn more Spanish in the future, and my goal is to build their confidence that they can learn a new language. 

This class is also appropriate for anyone who is a beginner with the Spanish language, including zero...

By the end of class, students will be very familiar with the following Spanish phrases:
Me gusta = I like it
No me gusta = I don't like it
Le gusta = S/he likes it
también = also
¡Qué asco! = How disgusting!
¡Qué rico! = How delicious!
preparar los tacos = prepare tacos
comer los tacos = eat tacos
They will also be exposed to a lot of food vocabulary words and the overall rhythm and feel of the language.

Learners will also gain an appreciation for the cultural differences between Mexican tacos and American tacos.  Learners in my classes gain confidence about how much Spanish they can understand.

I am certified to teach K-12 Spanish in the state of MN and I have over 15 years experience.  I have taught Spanish Level 1 beginners every year of my career!  I loving seeing beginners thriving in their start to learning Spanish.
