Course Description
This course is designed for all beginner Spanish students – no prior language experience is necessary. It teaches students basic words and phrases including numbers, colors, adjectives, body parts, and verbs. Students will learn the necessary grammar points to go along with these words. All this learning will be done through the wonderful world of Monsters! But, you don’t have to be scared of the monsters or the language. Come along and have some fun!
Course Overview
Each section will introduce the vocabulary words and key grammatical concepts. There will be a quick multiple choice quiz at the end of each lesson as well as a worksheet to go along with it. Each worksheet will have a review video as well. The last lesson will be a review of the entire section. Throughout each video lesson, it is expected that the student interacts with the video by copying the teacher’s hand gestures, repeating after the teacher, and answering questions (in Spanish) as necessary.
