Spanish Beginners (Year 1) Topics (age guide 5 – 11)

Welcome to Beginners’ Spanish 

Hola! y bienvenidos! 

Hello, and welcome to Beginners’ Spanish! This is a relaxed, fun and interactive introduction to Spanish.  We will be practising lots of speaking, playing games and singing to help you on your Spanish journey. 

The course is based on modules 1-3 of the Mira Express no. 1 textbook, but there is no obligation to buy the textbook, as all materials for class and optional learning activities will be provided on the website.

You will learn how to introduce yourself and talk about yourself, your family and pets.  You’ll also learn to talk about which subjects you like learning, and how to order snacks and drinks;  but this course will also focus on learning about the culture of Spanish-speaking countries, including their food, their way of life, and their festivals. 

You can participate as little or as much as you wish, and everyone who wants to practise speaking Spanish will have an opportunity to do so every lesson.

Hasta pronto!

Materials:
You do not need to buy a textbook, as all materials will be provided on the website.  
Please check the entries under “materials” for each lesson, as that’s where I’ll post Class Documents (sheets that, ideally, need to be printed out before that specific lesson) and Optional Tasks (additional, optional tasks for those children who to wish to practise what they’ve learnt after the lesson).

It’s always helpful to have pen and paper ready in case you need / want to write something down during the lesson.
