¡Hola, Clase!

Come sing, move, and play games in Spanish!  We will take what we learned in previous classes and extend our conversations.  To be successful in this class, I recommend completing “Elementary Beginner Spanish Parts 1-3” or 1-2 years of Spanish instruction.  In this class, we will learn about concepts relating to school and daily life such as school subjects, going to lunch, months, school activities, and more!  We will also continue to review previously learned concepts and practice mini-conversations.
