Learn Spanish
Immerse yourself in Spanish while enjoying the beautiful mountains of El Potrero Chico!
As part of our new services, and in response to our guests suggestions, we are now offering Spanish Courses as a Second Language. Our Spanish courses will help students complete their travel experience in Mexico (and beyond), and also provide them with the opportunity to truly experience the community and culture of Nuevo Leon.
The Approach
Our approach is to assist students in developing communication skills for travel in Spanish-speaking countries.
Specific Objectives
· Understand the spoken language in the context of the everyday situations studied. To understand means to grasp the basic message, not necessarily to comprehend every word uttered.
· Speak using words, then phrases and simple sentences to give information, ask and answer questions, and participate in conversations in the contexts studied.
· Become aware of customs and attitudes of Spanish -speaking countries which apply to the contexts studied.
· Comprehend simple written materials such as signs, menus, timetables, ads, short dialogues, etc.
· Write simple phrases and sentences related to the situations studied
Class Work
The emphasis in class is on oral communication: listening and speaking skills. It will include: talking about topics covered in the chapters and role -playing everyday situations. There will be no systematic study of grammar: only those structures needed to communicate in the situations presented will be introduced. Topics include home, school, family, work, shopping, getting around on a trip. You will learn to greet others, introduce yourself and ask about others, ask where something is, ask for general information when traveling, talk about the time, dates, and weather, describe family members, work, and housing, buy clothing, and order something to eat or drink.
