西班牙巨星系列：西班牙語入門

The Spanish Superstars Series 

In my Spanish Superstars series, I have taken the most commonly requested topics by Spanish learners and broken them into several mini-classes. Each class will meet for a total of four live meetings with a specific focus on related topics for beginning Spanish students. Each class in the series can be taken at any time and students can be enrolled in more than one class in the series simultaneously. I do, however, have a suggested order that I recommend the classes be taken in for optimal learning.

Each topic is presented through a slide presentation in which I present the new material being learned with detailed descriptions and examples.. Then several minutes are devoted to interactive follow-up activities in which students speak, listen, read and write in Spanish. I highly encourage active participation in my class as I feel that is the best way for young learners to comprehend and retain the material being learned.

In this class we will cover the following topics:

INTRODUCTION TO SPANISH

Class 1: Introduction to the Spanish-speaking world 
**NOTE: The majority of the content for this first class is taught primarily in English as we explore where in the world Spanish is spoken and how the language has evolved from its early beginnings into its modern day form. A few key vocabulary words in Spanish are included in the lesson but conversational Spanish content begins in class 2. 

Class 2: Greetings, Introducing yourself and others

Class 3: Days of the Week, Months of the Year, Seasons of the Year

Class 4: Describing the Weather
