Elementary Spanish 1

Course Length

2 Semesters

Elementary Spanish 1 is an Alpha Omega Academy course for students in grades 3-5 with little exposure to world languages.

This course for beginners with little exposure to world languages is geared toward younger minds that are still especially receptive to language learning through contextual interpretation and imitation. Highly visual and amusing stories and activities are geared toward these developing children, encouraging them to begin telling stories themselves. This course is not just a set of language lessons, but an appealing adventure for young minds, rich with graphics, games, and engaging interactive activities. An integrated, game-based reward system keeps learners motivated and eager to progress.

Communication expressions include greetings, introductions, songs, por favor and gracias and other expressions of daily courtesy. Vocabulary starts with numbers from 1-10, animals, and shapes before moving into days of the week, seasons, colors, fruits and vegetables, simple directions, and useful “around town” expressions. Cultural topics introduce the geography and customs of Spanish-speaking countries.
