Spanish Teacher's FAQ
Students that sign-up for Beginners Spanish, Intermediate Spanish and/or Advanced Spanish classes will need to purchase a textbook called Complete Spanish Step by Step (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1260463133/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1260463133&linkCode=as2&tag=holalearnspan-20&linkId=9b1a7f139c3896810329bb624b293013). I have been working with this book for many years and I am pleased with their program. I will provide you with extra materials and exercises at no cost to you, to complement the lessons in the book and deepen your practice. Students that sign-up for any other Spanish course that I teach, don't need to purchase any materials, they will all be provided by me.
A Spanish reference book that I recommend to all my students is Barron's 501 Spanish Verbs, t(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/143800916X/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=holalearnspan-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=143800916X&linkId=c4195f218b49fafa287619d25f6d9c2a)o support their learning process. Fluency in Spanish starts with knowledge of verbs, this can be a very challenging aspect of learning Spanish. I find this book to be a complete conjugation guide.
My recomendation is a couple times a week. Of course, if you are only able to do classes once or twice a week, this will work as well, you will learn and see improvements.
If you are doing once a week lessons, my recomendation is to take a 1.5-hour class to ensure a steady learning pace. This will allow us to concentrate on practicing the language for a portion of the lesson.
I studied English when I was attending university. I took 2-hour classes, five days a week for two years. I graduated with a minor in English. Soon after this, I participated in a cultural exchange program that brought me to the U.S. for an immersion experience. I was able to complete two semesters under this program and I reached a level of fluency that allowed me to work in the U.S.
A minimun of 24-hour notice is required to cancel AND/OR re-schedule a class, otherwise, a full charge for the class will apply. This is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you.
