Spanish for Real Life: Intro

Time to Dip Your Toe in the Water!

Did you know that Spanish is the second most widely spoken language in the world? Over 400 million speakers...and you can add YOUR name to that list!

As a high school Spanish teacher, I've observed over and over the need for a solid foundation on the middle school level, yet there are sadly few resources out there, especially designed for middle school (or junior high) home schoolers. But adult learners will also benefit from this course, especially if you're looking for a gentle but steady pace that will have you conversing on a basic level by the end of it!

This brief course consists of 19 short video lessons, designed to engage you from the beginning and get you well on your way to conversing in Spanish, plus a 20th video containing some of David's recommended resources for continuing your Spanish adventure. David has you repeating everything so you get used to making the sounds, and he addresses most learning styles so everyone can benefit.

NOTE: This course is designed for self-study and does not include live interaction with the instructor. If you're interested in live tutoring with David, whether individually or as part of a small online class, email David at [email protected].
