**Please note that this class is not to teach your learners Spanish but for them to have an immersive experience in the Spanish language.  This is a Spanish immersion session for bilingual speaking learners, heritage speakers, or dual-language learners and it is taught in Spanish**

This course is designed as a FLEX course.  It has a duration of 4 weeks and it is asynchronous meaning that you will be taking your classes at any time during the week, and we won’t be having any live classes.   Although we won’t meet live, we will communicate throughout the week on Outschool’s classroom page, and I will be available via email should you have any questions or concerns throughout the course.   Since we won’t be meeting live, we will have all of our virtual discussions and participation on the classroom page.
