Welcome to your Spanish  Conversation Club!

If you're looking to practice speaking in full sentences and practice your Spanish listening skills, this is the class for you! In this class, we'll focus on students actually conversing in the Spanish language. Please note that students MUST be prepared to actively participate in this class, as it is the entire point of the curriculum. This is not a passive, lecture-style lesson.
***************************
What can you expect from each lesson? 

Each week, we'll use a themed Wheel of Questions to inspire conversation in Spanish. For example, one week the theme will be FOOD. We'll spend that week learning conversational Spanish questions and answers about food.

At the end of each week, we'll play a review game to reinforce the vocabulary learned during that week.

Depending on the number of students in class, I may later break students into pairs to converse, or I may personally work with them throughout the class. All students will get the chance to converse with me, and I will correct and assist them. 

This class meets 3 times a week. We'll focus on conversing and learning new vocab for two days, and doing game-based review on the 3rd day of the week to reinforce vocabulary.

**Disclaimer: the % of Spanish that I speak during this lesson will depend on the students' needs. I may speak a 50/50 English/Spanish split if the students need that.**

**If absolutely necessary, I will explain grammar corrections in English, so students can grasp them. **

******************
