Me gusta el chocolate. Yo quiero chocolate

Intro Spanish:

Today we continued practicing how to express likes and dislikes in Spanish. We also started learning about the verb to want (querer). Next week we will learn how to say dates (las fechas) in Spanish: days of the week (page 14) and months (page 15)

Also, please review your numbers from 1-30 (page 9) and watch the video below in preparation for class (you only need to learn to 30 (treinta) but since numbers after that are quite easy and mechanical to learn, go ahead and see if you can reach 40 (cuarenta) or even 50 (cincuenta):

treinta y uno, treinta y dos.....
cuarenta y uno, cuarenta y dos.... cincuenta

Do not worry if you cannot learn all the numbers, we will go over them in class little by little.

Intermediate Spanish:

Today we learned about the Aztecs, the main political power in Mesoamerica at the time the first Europeans arrived to the continent.

We also practiced our subject pronouns with regular verbs in the present tense. Next day in class we are going to continue working on our present tense AR ending verbs.

Please go over pages 35-37 in your book and watch the two videos below in preparation for class:
