Why Spanish and French classes?
A World Language Can:
-Open Doors to Future Career Opportunities
- Improve Memory and Focus
- Enhance Problem-Solving Skills
- Build Confidence & Creativity
But there is a problem
I talk with learners of all ages.
This is what I hear: "I took Spanish in high school... but I can't really speak it."
I have taught high school and elementary school students who struggle to master the grammar, words, and concepts from a typical textbook...over 2,000 words per year!
Sadly, in many typical language classes, students learn about the language, but not how to use it!
And the solution...
Your child doesn't need 2,000 words...
or even 500...
They don't need to know how to buy a screwdriver...
or furniture...
at least not yet!
How many words do you really need to get through the day?.
It's 50. Just 50 base words!
Doesn't it make sense to learn the 50 base words of a language?
In this program, we slow down to speed up.
We follow the principles of TPRS®,
Teaching Proficiency Through Reading and Storytelling.
We use stories to build the students' vocabulary and command of grammar. Students listen and learn to speak in a relaxed, fun, and creative environment. They understand what teachers say and speak the language themselves from day 1. They tell stories and learn to have conversations.
In our classes, we personalize our language with engaging, story-based, interactive sessions with other students. We make it fun using ridiculous details. One of our students had an (imaginary) dog as big as a house! It led to all sorts of problemas...
In our classes, we have frequent assessments as well as finals. Some of them are standard language tests, and others take the form of talk shows, court cases, debates, News reporting, etc. Students get to use their story characters to create a dramatic experience. Students are creative, serious about their roles, and draw out the humor of the stories. I love remembering the funniest moments of those classes. These engaging stories create fun and fond memories for students as they progress on their language journey.
Bottom line? Students say that personalizing the language and continuing to add details were the most helpful aspects of their learning.
The results are amazing!
