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.
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.
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!)
