The 12 Most Frequent Spanish Verbs Are Irregular. Let's Use Them. Part 2.
Join me for part 2 of the class that teaches the verbs students would most often hear and use in any Spanish context. We'll cover: Tener, Hacer, and Poder. Some prior Spanish learning would help students take full advantage of this class.

This class is part 2 of 4. Students don't need to take the classes in numeric order. Also, depending on their knowledge, they might just want to take a specific part (1,2,3 or 4) of the class. However, if they're open to use frequency of words they'll encounter as a guide for their Spanish learning and improving, I'd suggest to consider taking the entire series. This is how I've structured the class to make sure students have opportunities to interact with each other and also have individual and group time to learn. Students will learn the form and use of each verb following these steps: I'll share a document with the verb contextualized in sentences with each pronoun form. Student will guess the meaning. Based on the sentences they've just seen, we'll co-write the verb, conjugating each pronoun in present tense. I'll highlight the similarities and differences between the forms to help students get ready to use them. In pairs and playing, students will test each other on the form of the verbs. I'll show a file with Spanish sentences that students will match to the appropriate English translation. I'll emphasize the differences in use between English and Spanish. I'll divide the class in pairs again, and students will co-write sentences using the verbs and pronouns assigned to them. Students will share their sentences with the entire class. Typically, we'll dedicate around 20 minutes to each verb.
Learning Goals
During this class, students will:
Predict the meaning and use of the verbs Tener, Hacer and Poder.
Learn the meaning and form of these irregular verbs in present tense.
Differentiate and use all the pronoun forms: yo, tú, él/ella/usted, nosotros, (vosotros), ellos/ellas/ustedes.
Compare and contrast the meaning and use of the verbs while matching the translations in Spanish and English.
Contextualize the verbs creating situations and using the verbs in writing and orally.
Interact while speaking Spanish with other students in pairs and as a whole group through dialogues and games using the verbs.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Illinois Teaching Certificate in Foreign Language
Growing up in Spain, I studied English and French in school for years, and I can still remember having the feeling of not being prepared to have an accurate conversation when I had the opportunity to talk with native speakers. How could it be that after all those years of studying I couldn't have an age-appropriate conversation? The truth is that students are often exposed to language in contexts they will likely not experience until later in life and to vocabulary that is not commonly used in their daily lives. Experiencing this gap between book learning and real-world experience in addition to my degrees in foreign language acquisition and teaching enable me to help students get ready to sustain dynamic conversations outside the classroom. Being bilingual in English and Spanish and connecting with my students and their needs for over 20 years, I have the knowledge to explain how structures and language use are similar or different from their own language.
