Spanish Immersion Classes

Your child knows some or no words in Spanish.

Students start by immersing themselves in everyday vocabulary. By the end of the year, they’ll be adept at expressing simple ideas in concise sentences. They will develop an authentic accent and a profound awareness of Latin culture, enriching their perspectives and enhancing critical thinking skills. They’ll explore a range of practical topics including greetings, colors, numbers, family, opposites, verbs, weather, food, and more. Each subject is complemented with functional and practical sentence structures for effective language acquisition.

Your child is familiar with the practical everyday vocabulary outlined in the Beginners 1 level description.

Students will continue to enhance their foundational skills and expand their vocabulary, enabling them to articulate simple thoughts effectively outside of class. They will construct more elaborate and detailed sentences. Additionally, they will learn common language structures in Spanish, such as ‘I have/I don’t have…’, ‘I like/I don’t like…’, ‘I am/I am not…’, encouraging conversations about everyday life situations.
