We did Day 25 in class, but you can watch the video on Day 25 to reinforce what we learned.
Today is Day 26. You should be watching the culture video on the tango.
Next week you are working on a writing assignment describing yourself in 5 sentences. Just follow the instructions. If you have any questions about the assignment after you read the instructions, let me know. YOU WILL READ YOUR ASSIGNMENT OUT LOUD TO THE CLASS NEXT WEEK FOR POINTS!!!
Keep studying the other vocabulary words we’ve learned so far so you don’t forget them.
We found this video to be adorable. Tango is a famous Spanish dance popular in Argentina.

We will skip Days 20-24.

Days 11-15 General Info
In class I stated that I didn’t like the worksheets and quizzes in this curriculum because they sometimes expect you to know things you haven’t learned yet. However, I’m taking a look at this week’s worksheets and quizzes and they seem to be quite helpful. I recommend you go ahead and do them (as your internet service allows) as a way to practice and test yourself to see if you’ve learned the material. Disregard the questions that require you to know something you haven’t learned yet.

Day 8: La Hora
Watch this video as well for Telling Time.
It also teaches how to say the time of day.
https://youtu.be/PvPh6-9BgQU
To tell time in Spanish, you need to know how to say the numbers above 30. Here is a video that reviews how, in addition to some very important conversational questions and answers on how to use numbers regarding cost, your age, phone number, and address. Please take notes carefully with this video. We will practice these questions and answers next time we are in class.
Once you’re proficient in counting to the higher numbers, use this video to practice telling time. Pause and answer to give yourself a chance to think and really test yourself.

Day 5: Los Números
The day number 5 assignment can be printed out or you can just number a piece of paper from 1-10 and write the answer in SPANISH. So if the answer is 1, write “uno”.
In GA, you can get a learner’s permit at 15, and there are 9 innings in a regular baseball game.
Quiz question 3 translation:
“Which is the day traditionally for resting or going to church?”
Question 5 tip:
“Todos” means “all” or “every”

We will go over this in class and play a game like this.
The quiz asks you about the seasons, which you haven’t learned yet. Here they are:
The Seasons = Las Estaciónes
Winter = invierno
Spring = Primavera
Summer = Verano
Autumn = Otoño
It helps me to remember the root words of three of the seasons come from the Latin “ver” as in “verde” which means “green”:
INvierno=NOT green
PRIMAvera=first green
Verano= green
And check out this article on the etymology of the word, “otoño”—very close to the word “autumn.”
Looking forward to our class this Thursday at 2:30PM. I have a fun surprise for everyone!
