Bienvenidos! Welcome!
In this 4 week FLEX class, we will learn to sound out words in Spanish. Each week will include videos, practice activities, and something extra!
We will start with individual sounds, then move onto syllables and special sounds. After that we will practice sounding out words before finishing up with reading full sentences, a story, and even have a go at some of the longest words in Spanish!
The main purpose of this class is pronunciation, but new vocabulary is included! I always say what the words we use translate to so that learners know what they're saying.
This class is perfect for brand new beginners, or those that just need some practice with pronunciation. 

Here is a breakdown of the schedule and what is included in each week.
Week One: The Spanish alphabet and letter sounds. I will post a video covering all of the individual sounds in the Spanish alphabet. Learners will have an audio/video assignment to upload of alphabet practice. 

Week Two: This week will discuss Spanish syllables and how to break words down into smaller parts. We will also cover the special accents for vowels. I will post a video explaining Spanish syllables and vowel accents. Learners will have an audio/video assignment to upload. Learners will have a practice game to play. I will post a list of the  consonants, in order. I will start the game and say a syllable starting with the first consonant, the first learner will comment with a syllable using the next consonant, the second learner will use the third consonant, and the game will continue until we have completed the list. 

Week Three: We will use our previous weeks to sound out real Spanish words this week. I will upload two videos, one video will be of how to sound out words, the other video will be a set of words and their meanings for student to use for their practice activity. Students will have a Kahoot! Challenge over the words from my second video. Students will have an audio/video assignment to complete.

Week Four: For our final week, we will use all of our new skills to practice reading full sentences and a short story in Spanish. I will upload a video read aloud set up so that learners practice reading each sentence/page before I read it. Students will have an audio/video assignment to upload. Our final week will also include a special bonus challenge with some long multi-syllable Spanish words for students to try!
