Our Method
Children are naturally more "efficient" foreign language learners and have a great capacity to learn a second language. Our program is based on the idea that this learning can be significantly enhanced with the use of:
|
We use various audio and visual elements that are complementary and inter-related so that the same vocabulary or element of grammar is practiced and reinforced in many different ways to create variety, encourage participation and eleminate boredom.
Unique picture associations and color highlighted words are used throughout the program to speed the learning process.
The program we use is rooted in a method that is designed to stimulate different learning styles (visual, auditory and kinesthetic) to capture the attention of all students. By using a multi-sensory approach, both sides of the brain are engaged in the learning process. Students can learn much faster and with a higher level of retention.
Students will:
- Know how to read and pronounce words in Spanish.
- Possess essential Spanish conversational skills.
- Master Spanish vocabulary associated with the alphabet, colors, numbers 1-1000, greetings, the body, questions, directions, family, opposites, school, days of the week, months and seasons, weather, magic words, verbs, food, silverware, farm animals, wild animals, household items, clothing, occupations, places, time, nature and many cognate words.
- Understand many aspects of Spanish grammar including pronunciation, masculine/feminine, singular plural, personal pronouns, present/past/future conjugations and useful irregular verbs.
Best of all, they will acquire a love for learning Spanish because their experience was positive and joyful.
