$375.00 – $425.00
Course Description: Did you know that almost 30% of Texans speak Spanish? This class will equip students with the ability to speak and understand useful expressions and will give them the confidence to begin reading and writing in Spanish. Students will watch an online video each week where they will see vocabulary words as they are listed on the whiteboard, hear their pronunciation, and model a gesture for each word or phrase. The Excelerate SPANISH workbook contains a variety of interesting activities for further practice and mastery. In class each week, we will practice conversation and review key vocabulary and grammar rules. Students will also complete Google Quizzes to help them learn Spanish in bite size pieces.
