Beginning/Intermediate Spanish ~ Las Comidas, La Casa, y Lugares Ages 7-12. This Spanish Class is geared for a beginner/ intermediate level. The student should have knowledge of basic vocabulary such as numbers 1-20, the Spanish alphabet and the vowels, colors, and greetings. We will review these and also learn to read, write, and converse using sentences. About 60% of this class is taught in Spanish and there are words that we use in every class that guide us in transitioning from one activity to another. For example: calentamiento/warm-up, tarea/homework, repaso/review. 

Learning Goals: Students will work towards conversing with fluidity in Spanish. They will work on comprehension, grammar and pronunciation, read, and much more! Through immersion and practice; we'll sing in Spanish, use repetition, converse, watch engaging videos, dance, and hear wonderful stories. Activities in each lesson will scaffold, building on previous lessons and will ensure learners are interested and engaged while I gradually add vocabulary and new concepts to their knowledge. 

 General class structure: 5 minute introduction, 10 minute vocabulary, 10 minutes of practice, 15 minutes of discussion/presentation, 5 minute conversation, 5 minute reflection/closure.

Students will RETAIN their acquired language skills to become CONFIDENT SPANISH SPEAKERS!
Please note: I must have at least four learners enrolled.
