¡Amplía tu mundo con el español! Nivel 1A

Did you know that 41,000,000 Americans speak Spanish? Learning Spanish will open up so many social and professional opportunities for students! There is also data to suggest that students who learn a second language develop strong analytical and problem solving skills.

Learning Spanish has helped enrich my life as a learner and teacher.  My family is from Honduras, so I grew up around Spanish language, but I wanted to learn more and live in a Spanish speaking country. As a junior in college, I lived in Spain with a Spanish family and explored the language and culture. I have a B.A. in Spanish, and I want to share my enthusiasm for language learning with you. Let me help you on your journey to learning Spanish and about Spanish speaking countries around the world!

Each week we will learn new Spanish vocabulary and discuss culture. Students will be challenged to practice pronunciation in a low risk environment. Students will also develop confidence as we navigate the class.
