03/25/13 ¿Cuántos años tienes?

Today we did a review of what we have learned for the last three weeks. We also learned how to tell our age.

Below there is a couple of videos that you may find useful to reinforce what we have covered in class.








When we get back in a couple of weeks we will continue working on our numbers, the days of the week and the months. If you could, please take a look at this site and the three following videos.








¡Gracias y nos vemos en abril! (Thanks and see you in April!)

03/18/13: ¿Cómo te llamas? y ¿De dónde eres?

Today we went over introductions in further detail.

Below, you will find a couple of videos that will help you review this topic.

Please notice the difference in spelling and pronunciation when in an informal (friendly) vs. a more formal (businesslike or respectful) setting.





¿Cómo te llamas?/What is your name?
 




¿De dónde eres?/Where are you from?






And now let's put it all together...




¡Nos vemos en clase! (See you in class!)

03/11/13: El abecedario, ¿Como estás? Buenos días....

Today we learned the alphabet and the sounds in Spanish, covered several new basic greetings and practiced the colors and numbers some more.

If you want to practice the alphabet online go to this 123TeachMe link and/or watch any of these short videos. Don't be overwhelmed by all the talk before and after the song in the third video (they are basically asking Cosmo, the dog, to join them)








You can also download a free Spanish Alphabet app here (Android). iOS users can find similar apps online.

Below, you'll find another three videos to practice some of the greetings covered in class today.

Hola, ¿Cómo estás? (Hello, How are you?)



Adiós, hasta luego...(Goodbye, see you later...)



Buenos días, buenas tardes y buenas noches (Good morning, afternoon/evening and night)



¡Gracias y hasta el lunes próximo! (Thank you and see you next Monday!)
