La Familia y Los Pronombres
Learn How to Talk About Family and Use Subject Pronouns in Spanish
This is designed to introduce vocabulary and culture as well as other aspects of the Spanish language through authentic videos and stories, then begin targeted practice of words, sentences, and phrases. Language acquisition will occur with repeated, everyday exposure and practice.
The work below is divided into sections. Have children complete everything in the section once a day for a week or longer (depending on age, ability, and how fast they learn). Allow the child to move on to the next section when they show understanding and proficiency. Children can also return to previous sections for review.
