En esta lección de prueba, hablaremos sobre tus objetivos de aprendizaje y conoceré tu nivel de español para saber por dónde comenzar y, así, mejorar tu nivel en las clases futuras, si las hay.

In this trial lesson we are going to discuss about your learning goals and Spanish level, in order to create a plan to improve your level for future lessons, if any.

A beginner’s lesson will introduce you to basic Spanish phrases and sentences.  Lessons will be mainly conducted in Spanish for you to become accustomed to new phonetic sounds and pronunciation of words.  

Depending on the lesson, we may use the Internet, PDF documents, and some grammar exercises as resources to ensure your learning is meaningful.  Using a variety of methods such as audio, visual and written text will help you absorb information quicker.  The key to any learning process is practice and repetition. 

NOTE: I use the FREE version of ZOOM, which means that if you choose that platform for our lessons, the session may be terminated by Zoom after 40 minutes of lesson time, with a 10 minute window to reset.

For uninterrupted class time, I suggest the following: 
For 30-45-60 min lessons, please, choose --> Skype, GoogleMeet or ItalkiClassroom. 
For 30 min lessons, please, choose --> Zoom

An intermediate level lesson aims to expand your working knowledge of the Spanish language and introduce you to a greater range of vocabulary and themes.  Lessons will focus on improving pronunciation and areas of improvement needed to develop a wider breadth of the language.  Depending on the class, we may use the Internet, PDF documents, and PPTs as resources to ensure your learning is meaningful.  To make the most of out of our lessons, students should expect to be speaking around 60% of the time as this is the best way to learn a new language.
