Hi there!
I am going to write about this small project of mine, I want to talk about my experience teaching Spanish to one of my students from ABC Spanish Lessons in London
Let me tell you a bit about his profile, he is english speaker, with some knowledge of french and some exposure to Spanish as he already had some lessons with me last year. He has visited Mexico before and now he moved to Mexico city because he is in love of a very special person.
We are going to have lessons five times a week, from monday to friday. We are following the book Aula Latina as this book has an approach to the vocabulary used in Mexico. The level: A1
I usually send to all of my students a link with a video where they can start learning the alphabet in Spanish.
Today Monday we started with unit 1. We have set up our main goals and by the end of the week my student is suppose to know the following themes:
1. Saludos y despedidas
2. dar y pedir datos personales
3. recursos para preguntar sobre palabras
4. las 3 conjugaciones -ar, -er, -ir
5. Los verbos: SER, TENER, LLAMARSE
6. Los números del 1 al 100
7. El abecedario / el alfabeto
8. Las nacionalidades
9. Las profesiones
On our first day we pass through greetings and how to farewell. The numbers from 1 to 20 and then I usually go straight to the key questions that they need for class that are also very useful when they are in any Spanish speaking country.
For example:
Disculpe, ¿dónde está el banco? / Excuse me, where is the bank?
¿cómo se dice " ...." en español? / How do you say "..." in Spanish?
¿cómo se escribe "..." ? / How do you write "..." ? /
Or we pass through other useful phrases like:
No entiendo! / I don't understand
We learn many others but this are just examples of resources useful suring the lesson and outside of the class when they first arrive to a new city and need to move around with their basic skills.
Please let me share something that I found this are Useful_Spanish_Phrases_for_beginners
After our lesson of one hour, my student has home assignments, this is to complete exercises with numbers, vocabulary with the alphabet and others.
I hope you like this, and that you can continue with me through the process of this new proyect. And of course if you want to have lessons you are always more than welcome to come!
Nos vemos pronto!
