¡Hola!

Come sing, move, and play games in Spanish!  Students will take what was learned in previous classes and extend their conversations.  To be successful in this class, I recommend completing “Elementary Beginner Spanish Parts 1-3”  or 1-2 years of Spanish instruction at school. In this class, students will learn to describe animals using adjectives and talk about their habitats.  Students will learn to name the 7 continents and name items seen in the natural world. Students will also continue to review and practice mini-conversations throughout the course to review and expand on content from previous classes.  

Please note that "Elementary Intermediate Spanish Parts 4-6" are interchangeable to provide more flexibility.
