I bought this book in Colombia and I feel like a lot of my students would be able to understand most of it because it is filled with common, HIGH-FREQUENCY words, which is what I base my level one class on. #CIworks #languageacquisition #spanishclass #spanishteacher #spanishtribePreterite and imperfect is a vehicle, not a destination.

Past tense does not come after present tense. #languageacquistion #langchat #CIworksWriting samples during our Esperanza novel unit, post-watching of los enamores verdes song “a las tres”. #immigration #spanishclass #spanishteacher #CIworks#Spanishteachers #spanishclassA cute idea from our admins for #teacherappreciationweekHead over to @spanishgiveaway to enter to win a summer-themed prize pack worth $170.
