Lesson 1

Welcome to your first day of school! I wanted to give you one important reminder before you begin. Many of your lessons below have an internet link for you to click on. When you go to the different internet pages for your lessons, please DO NOT click on anything else on that page except what the directions tell you to. DO NOT click on any advertisements or games. DO NOT click on anything that takes you to a different website. Just stay focused on your lesson and then close that window and you should be right back here for the next lesson. Okay?

  1. If you didn’t get here through My EP Assignments, I suggest you go there and create an account.

An important reminder as you are beginning the year…If you you click on a link and the link is not working please do not just skip it or find something similar to use; let your parent know so that we can get this fixed right away for you and for other users.

  1. A reminder about some things: You are going to repeat things, a lot. When I tell you to repeat, I want you to say the words out loud, loud enough for someone in the same room as you to hear, as if you were speaking to them. When I tell you just to listen, you need to look away and not read the words. Sometimes you’ll listen to things you don’t understand. It’s called, “passive listening.” I’m not crazy; it’s a tool of language learning. If I were to tell you to put these words in a sentence, what would you say? (cute, look at, puppy, the, black) I bet you said, “Look at the cute, black puppy.” Why did you all say cute first? Cute and black are both adjectives. When did you learn that the color comes second? No one taught you that. It just sounds right. Are you starting to understand why you should be listening to the language you are learning? You are learning the sound of the language. You need to know what sounds right. If you listen enough, you’ll get to the place where you just know what sounds right and what doesn’t.
  2. If you did not take Spanish in 6th, I would suggest taking that year instead. Spanish is only planned through Spanish 4 in 11th, so there is extra time if you start late. You could even jump from Spanish 6th to Spanish 1 if you needed to move faster for some reason.
  3. Listen to the alphabet.
  4. Practice the alphabet.
  5. Listen and count
  6. Count from 50-100.

Lesson 145

  1. There’s another whole part to language we haven’t discussed. I remember being in Greece and the folks I was with were trying to find someone who spoke English. They were going up to people and asking, “Do you speak English?” The person would shake their head, so they moved on to ask someone else. After several tries they came to me and told me what they had been doing. I started laughing. What’s so funny?
  2. In Greece you shake your head to say yes, and nod your head to say no. They were asking, “Do you speak English?” The person was responding yes and then they were just walking away from the person.
  3. You may wonder why were the people shaking their head instead of speaking English? They may have never been in the situation where they’ve had to speak English to someone. Maybe they only learned in school. They were taken off guard. It takes time to switch your brain to react in another language. And even when you know the right thing to say, without practice, it can be hard to get it out, especially quickly on the spot.
  4. What part of language am I talking about? Non-verbal communication. Today, read these two articles, one and two.
  5. Give someone a Hispanic greeting.

Lesson 146

  1. Read this lesson on pronouns until you get to what is written below, above the video.

= you informal (familiar)

Lesson 147

  1. We are going to conjugate a verb. The verb is “to be.”
  2. Write the personal subject pronouns in English on a piece of paper going down, one on each line. (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they)
  3. Now, next to each one write the correct English conjugation of the verb, “to be.” (am, are, is, are, are, are)
  4. Make a list of the Spanish personal subject pronouns.
  5. List them down the page, one on each line.
  6. Now use the chart to write the correct conjugation of the Spanish verb, “to be,” estar. It’s the first column.

Lesson 150

  1. Listen and repeat the sentence. Do another 50 sentences. You can start at 51.
  2. Write a sentence for each Spanish personal pronoun, each using the correct form of estar.
  3. Remember, you may not be writing everything correctly. You should have correct the pronoun and the form of estar. It is still useful to think for yourself and produce language without directly imitating it. If your only goal is to take a Spanish test and do well, this isn’t the best strategy. Just copy the correct sentences. If your goal is to be able to speak Spanish, at least to some degree, you need to be able to think in Spanish. Rote memory doesn’t develop that thinking skill. I took French in school for 7 years and got all A’s, but when I got to spend two days in France, I couldn’t say a single sentence of my own.

Lesson 151

  1. Read this page on the verb “to have.” Click on all of the speakers. Say all of the blue sentences out loud.
  2. Write out the pronouns and the form of “to have” for each one (in Spanish). Remember: this is called the verb conjugation. Using the right form of the verb is important. What if I said to you, “I has a cold,” or “He do that fast.” That’s what you would sound like if you didn’t use the right conjugation of the Spanish verbs.
  3. Next, go to this page explaining how the verb tener is used.

We read that it described location (she is here), was used as a helping verb (I am helping), and it was used to describe a something that changes (I am sick–because I’m not always going to be sick). I am always going to be a girl, so I don’t say, “Yo estoy una chica.” I say, “Yo soy una chica.” The verb is ser.
