Learning to read in a new language offers several advantages over the conventional methods of language learning. Here are some reasons why: *Comprehensive understanding: Reading provides a more comprehensive understanding of the language. It allows learners to see the written form of words, sentence structures, and grammar rules, which aids in building a solid foundation for language acquisition. *Vocabulary expansion: Reading exposes learners to a wide range of vocabulary and idiomatic expressions. By encountering words in context, learners can grasp their meanings and usage more effectively, leading to a broader and richer vocabulary. *Enhanced pronunciation and fluency: Reading helps improve pronunciation and fluency by reinforcing correct language patterns. It allows learners to see how words are pronounced, enabling them to internalize correct pronunciation and intonation. *Self-paced learning: Reading empowers learners to learn at their own pace. They can revisit texts, pause to understand complex sentences, and engage with the material at a comfortable speed, leading to better comprehension and retention. *Independent learning: Once learners develop reading skills, they become more self-sufficient in their language learning journey. They can explore authentic materials, such as books, articles, and online resources, independently, which enhances their motivation and autonomy. While conventional language learning methods have their merits, incorporating reading into the learning process can significantly enhance language proficiency and provide a well-rounded language learning experience. In our first session, we will take the time to get to know each other better. I will ask you some questions to assess your existing knowledge and discuss the goals and expectations for our class. If you're starting from scratch, we'll begin by focusing on the Spanish vowels. Subsequent classes will be customized to your specific needs, incorporating engaging activities to make the learning process enjoyable. Since pronunciation is vital in a language class, I expect learners to unmute during the session so that I can provide feedback and correct any errors. Here is a structured outline of the topics we will cover in order, starting where needed: 1) Introduction to Spanish letter names and sounds, including digraphs. 2) Syllables and words - we will practice combining consonants, digraphs, and vowels to form syllables and read words. 3) Reading rules - I will explain accent marks, punctuation, and review pronunciation rules for letters and digraphs with varying sounds. 4) Reading sentences - we will progress to forming sentences by combining words. 5) Weekly reading practice - your learner will enjoy reading a short stories customized for them to aid in learning common words and phrases. 6) Additional reading practice - either you or I can choose a story or book each week to further expand your Spanish vocabulary and improve fluency. Starting from the third class, we'll begin each session with a quick review of what was learned the previous week. This reinforcement ensures that the knowledge sticks with the learner for the long term. To enhance progress, optional gameplay or homework may be provided to encourage continued practice outside of class time. Once the learner has gained proficiency in reading Spanish, we will focus on expanding vocabulary, verb conjugation, and developing basic conversational skills through reading exercises. PLEASE NOTE: The main language of class instruction is English. There is also a 45 minute class listing available.
