Martes, 25 de febrero: Partes del cuerpo

Next week we will continue practicing the human body in Spanish. Please go over the interactive links provided two weeks ago in the previous post.

We will be using both the verbs ser (to be) and tener (to have) in the present tense (indicative) to describe people, animals and toys.

Tengo dos ojos grandes (I have two big eyes)
El pelo es negro (My hair is black)

Remeber that the verb ser is conjugated in the present tense as follows:

soy, eres, es, somos, sois, son

While tener is conjugated as follows:

tengo, tienes, tiene, tenemos, tenéis, tienen

¡Hasta el martes!

Martes, 11 de febrero: El cuerpo humano

Today we practiced our alphabet while spelling our names.

For next class, please come prepared to spell (in Spanish) your last name and your mother's maiden name.

You can watch the video below for practice (specially that trilled rr sound we talked about in class today)




El abecedario o el alfabeto




We also started learning the parts of the body. You can practice the body (el cuerpo) here and here and the features of the face (la cara) or head (la cabeza) here and here.

See you soon!

Martes, 3 de febrero: marionetas y alfabeto.

Origami Yoda says: "Done well, you have!"  And he should know, he is a puppet.

Seriously, though, I am so proud of you! I love the videos below. I am so happy with how well you have done that we may expand our performance to several puppets per group.

Besides your videos (make sure the CC feature is selected when you view them so you can read the transcript), please watch this song as we will further explore the Spanish alphabet next day in class.

¡Hasta pronto!
