The Basics of Speaking Spanish
About the Course
Many of our students and their families speak Spanish at home. When having meetings with these families, it is often nice to know the basics of introductions, and how to construct basic sentences using nouns specific to the classroom and the students' performance. This class is geared toward teaching those basics, as well as an introduction to some of the tools offered to help communication with this population of families. The primary outcome of this class is to have our Spanish speaking families feel more welcome and their voices heard with an open line of communication from their teachers.
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Greet others and have introductory conversations (both formally and informally, understanding when to differentiate between the two).
- Internalize the impact on families of offering translated documents in the classroom and produce a translated class syllabus.
- Conjugate regular -ar, -ir, and -er verbs, as well as understand some of the most popular irregular verbs and how to form sentences around them.

What a fantastic class to get your feet wet with Spanish. The pacing of the class was perfect. The instructor provided a safe space and encouraged you to take a risk speaking Spanish even if you weren't great at it. I learned so much!

Excellent way to practice the basics of Spanish. This class helped me reorient myself with Spanish with an additional layer of working with Spanish speaking families.
