Series Details

About

We'll cover verb conjugations and useful vocab, but we will mostly focus on the conversational aspect of Spanish! I will speak in Spanish about half of the time, and each learner should expect to contribute in Spanish as well. Note: No Spanish experience is required for this series! Note (part 2): I will edit session descriptions once the series begins and I have a better understanding of what people want. Thanks everyone!

Tutor Qualifications

I've been taking Spanish for the past 7 years (including AP Spanish IV and AP Spanish V) and I have received a certificate of working fluency in the language.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Sessions will not be cumulative, but please try to show up as much as you can! Practice is super important for language learning.

About the Tutor

Hi, I'm Kate! I am a high school student in the US who is passionate about math, computer science, and language learning! I'm also currently trying to prepare for the AMC 12 through self studying and sessions on schoolhouse! My favorite subject to tutor right now is Calculus, but I'm trying to expand my knowledge to other subject areas :)

Orientation

In this session, we'll introduce ourselves (in either English or Spanish) and then I will discuss a broad outline for how this series will be laid out (in English). Afterwards, I'll do a brief grammar + vocab lesson about useful phrases for introductions + for interacting in a learning environment and then we'll talk a bit in Spanish.

Today we're going to be talking about restaurants and food! This will be done in two parts: learning about cooking dishes from Spanish speaking countries and learning to order dishes from restaurants. You will leave this session with new vocab about food and restaurants, new grammar for being polite, and perhaps an inspiration to make some flan! :D

Today we're going shopping! 🛍 Well, not really. But kind of! I'm going to make a (fake) virtual store with products in spanish and we're each going to "buy" items from different categories (shops) (clothes, jewelry, technology, food, furniture, school supplies, and much more) By the end of the session, we will know words for items in Spanish, ways to express opinions, and some numbers (talking about costs).

For this final session, we will talk about colors, art, and music. To talk about art in relation to culture, I will present pieces of art from all parts of the Spanish speaking world and discuss basic facts about it. To facilitate these discussions, I will teach the imperfect (past) tense.
