Beginner 1: Introduction to conversation. Little to no previous Spanish exposure. Present tense of AR, ER, IR
verbs, weather vocab., ordering at restaurants, basic sentence structure.
Intro to magic verbs (you'll love these) and their connections.
Beginner 2: Continue building foundation; review material above. Introduce irregular verbs in present tense, present
progressive. Sound less like a student, more like a person! Intro the past tense (preterit), past
progressive, build every-day vocabulary for real-life situations.
Intermediate 1: Introduce imperfect tense; usage of preterit vs. imperfect, direct and indirect object, expand
vocabulary. Gain confidence in sounding like a person, incorporate slang, colloquialisms, etc. Read
articles and discuss, role-play, play games, learn songs, get past your blocks!
Intermediate 2: Reflexive verbs and pronouns; really work imperfect vs. preterit. Review all previous work. We
can stay at this level for a while, building, expanding, gaining more proficiency. Intro to more
advanced verb tenses (perfect, subjunctive, etc.) and build vocabulary like crazy. You are
definitely on your way!
