<title>Spanish Beginner - Big Learning

Learning another language and about another culture is an enduring and powerful life skill that allows us to communicate and make meaningful connections with others.

Let’s open a window and make discoveries! Big Learning classes are taught by native speakers of the languages they teach. Children will build practical Spanish skills in a fun, small-group, immersion setting with lively games and activities. We’ll explore customs and traditions, greetings and expressions, numbers, calendar, weather, colors and shapes, body parts, favorite pets, the family, and a birthday party.

Beginner level is a full-year program offered in two or more sessions. Sessions include different topics and themes so that children can learn new vocabulary and build language skills throughout the school year. We encourage children to participate in Beginner level for a full year, however a child may choose to participate in just one session.

Each session includes an accompanying workbook and hands-on activities to promote practical use of the language and strengthen early literacy skills.

This level is appropriate for beginner students who are reading and writing in English.

Additional Notes

Please set @biglearning.org as a safe sender in your email provider so you will receive notifications about this class.

During each class, there will be plenty of time for activities, dialogues, games, and songs to keep students engaged and speaking the target language. Each child will have their own Workbook to use during class. Workbooks will be sent home at the end of the session.

From our experience, children can be hungry after school. Although Big Learning instructors do not provide snacks, there is time for your child to eat a simple snack from home before class starts.
