Spanish 1
Spanish 1 will equip your high school students to master the Spanish language! More than 450 million people in the world speak Spanish, making it second only to Chinese in terms of the most spoken languages in the world. English is just behind, with approximately 360 million native speakers. This is also a Critical Language, meaning it is important to U.S Trade, Diplomacy, or Security. Students with a second language earn more scholarship dollars and are more marketable. It's doable to learn a second language and encouraged, particularly as your student will live in a dynamic and ever-changing economy that will require diverse skills!

Required Materials for Spanish I
Un lenguaje nuevo es una vida nueva.A new language is a new life.
Students must attend class on time and regularly, prepared to learn. They will be expected to go above and beyond what is being taught in a regular Español 1 course. This entails grammar topics, additional vocabulary, weekly homework, and additional cultural projects.
This course will use CI, comprehensible input by the instructor modeling the language and then allowing students several opportunities to practice. Our focus will be on reading, and listening followed by speaking to be able to express themselves.

THNA Student –
I love Maestra Garcia! I thought that the way she taught the class was very easy to understand. She managed to teach a lot of material in just one class, while keeping it fun and engaging!
TNHA Student –
I think that it was an amazing start to learning a different language.
Autumn Netherton –
I LOVED this class! Ms. Garcia taught things in an easy way that all of us could understand while keeping the class engaging and challenging. All of the projects we did were so fun! This class is a great introduction to Spanish! I would HIGHLY recommend taking this class!
Mia Banks –
This class makes learning Spanish incredibly fun and approachable for beginners! Mrs. Quintanar has been a very sweet and patient teacher which makes the learning environment easygoing and welcoming but still challenges us in an excited way while we learn. After only a few classes I was able to speak, read, and write basic sentences in a language I zero experience in prior. One of my favorite parts about the class are the projects we do, where we not only get a chance to speak exclusively in Spanish, but we also get to learn about different Hispanic cultures as well! I absolutely everything about this class and I highly recommend it!!!
