Year-Round Spanish Immersion Classes

Your child knows some or no words in Spanish.

Students begin by learning everyday vocabulary and finish the year able to express simple ideas in short sentences. They will develop an authentic accent and have a strong awareness of the Latin culture, opening their minds and widening their thinking skills. Everyday topics such as greetings, colors, numbers, family, opposites, action verbs, the weather, foods, and more are introduced, with functional and useful sentence structures that go with each subject.

Students will continue to build on fundamental skills and broaden their vocabulary to express simple ideas they can use outside of class. Their sentences will be longer and more detailed. They will also learn common structures in Spanish, such as “I have/I don’t have…” “I like/ I don’t like…”, “I am/I am not…” to encourage conversation about everyday life situations.
