Talk and Enjoy : Conversational Class for Teens

In this ongoing class, students will enhance their conversational Spanish skills by exploring various topics related to Spanish culture, such as hobbies, travel, climate, food, sports, and daily activities. This class is designed for learners who can communicate and understand Spanish at an intermediate to advanced level, even if their grammar isn’t perfect. It is not intended for beginners.

Each week, discussions will be guided by the teacher. We will start with greetings and introductions, followed by engaging conversation prompts to encourage participation. Every session will focus on a new theme, as outlined in the weekly schedule. To support students in expressing their ideas, I will provide helpful visuals and key vocabulary they can use to form sentences. This will help learners expand their vocabulary while feeling more confident in their conversations.

During class, I will also assist with pronunciation and correct grammar as needed. Learners will have plenty of opportunities to speak, express their ideas, and build confidence in a supportive environment.

The goal is to practice Spanish in a fun and engaging way while connecting with others in a safe and encouraging classroom setting. If you have any questions about your student's language level, feel free to reach out, I’m happy to help!
