What will we learn?
Class is divided into 4 units, Survival Basics, Basic Conversations, Giving Excuses & Commands, and Intro to the Past Tense. Each unit lasts 2 weeks, with 2 classes each week. Below you can see more in depth what we will cover in each unit.
​
Survival Basics - Learn the basics of Spanish, basic phrases, and how to deal with the most important situations when you arrive. These situations include going to a restaurant and ordering, shopping in a market or a store, and understanding basic directions.
​
Basic Conversations - In this unit, we learn to talk about family, jobs, likes, dislikes, and future plans. We will start being able to have simple conversations about ourselves and things related to us, as well as ask those questions of another person.
​
Giving Excuses & Commands - This is where we get out of factual statements and start to add flavor to what we are saying. These are the woulds, shoulds, coulds and ought to's. We will start to be able to give excuses as to why we don't do something, as well as start to give simple commands.
​
Intro to the Past Tense - This is pretty easy to understand. We start to talk about the past tense and go over basic storytelling in the present and in the past tenses.
