Linda’s Spanish Clssses
About
Since I was raised in Mexico. Since the age of five, I have a great love for the country in the culture. I frequently go back to Mexico at least once a year. I have family that still lives there.I sponsored many trips to Mexico with my high school students from Saint Michaels Academy. I would teach you with a lot of enthusiasm and you would learn to love the country as well as the language.
I would teach you with a lot of enthusiasm and you would learn to love the country as well as I do. I sponsored 13 trips to Mexico and high school and the trips were repeated every year because the students were so Excited to return. The emphasis on the Spanish I thought it was more of an audio lingual method.So in teaching you I would also add conversational drills to help support the rules you're learning in Spanish. Therefore it becomes a live in Spanish.

What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?

And you have to share your knowledge that the culture of the language brings to the setting. All things that create motivation
