Hola

Hola, and welcome to a new year at HLACNY Academy!

Today in INTERMEDIATE SPANISH we talked about what we did this summer (el verano). Among other topics, we covered Lacrosse and Legend of Zelda. We learned about the verb  to play (JUGAR)


Please come prepared to next class with a brief composition (about 10 sentences) describing what tools you use for your favorite activity: eg. Lacrosse sticks, 3DS games and player, etc. Use a dictionary to find the ten most important terms or attributes to describe the objects you bring to class madera: wood, pantalla: screen, etc.

Ejemplos:

El palo/bastón de lacrosse es largo y de madera (The lacrosse stick is long and made out of wood)
Juego la "Legend of Zelda" en mi pantalla  (I play Legend of Zelda in my screen)

Please bring some samples of what you use in the games you play for your presentation.

¡Gracias y hasta el martes!

Today in BEGINNER'S SPANISH we learned how to introduce ourselves:

¿Cómo te llamas? What is your name?
Me llamo... My name is...

¿Cómo se llama? What is his/her name?
Se llama... His/Her name is...

Please watch the video below to reinforce what we learned (the video ends with Mucho gusto, Marta and Igualmente: Pleased to meet you, Marta and The pleasure is mine)

We also used colors to describe some stuffed animals: eg el perro es negro (the dog is black) or el pato es rojo y anaranjado (the duck is red and orange). Please have your students go over the list of colors we completed in class. You can visit this interactive site for practice. You can also watch the video below.

Thanks, and see you next week!
