My goal and vision for this class is to encourage each student to passionately engage in learning the Spanish language by developing skills in: Listening, understanding, reading, writing, and most importantly “Speaking” I will incorporate several learning style during my teaching (visuals, hands-on, listening and conversational activities) This will make it fun and interesting. We will open every session with prayer (in Spanish).
