I am enjoying this class. I have been extremely busy with my teaching and will donate more time in the summer. That is my only regret---Is have been busy with work!
I am using the Spanish as a second grade teacher who is obtaining a masters degree as an English Language Acquisition teacher. I use it by talking to younger children in the pasillo (hallway). I was glad when I get the email reminding me that I hadn't used the site in a couple of weeks. It kept my task in front of me.
I work in a District with many Spanish speakers. It is imperative that I can understand parents, and that they can understand me. As I continue taking this course my confidence builds and I use what I have learned more and more.
I am learning medical Spanish for my job and to possibly help as a nurse in a third world country during a working "vacation". I love the word of the day. This is just what I was looking for, a course that helps me right away at work.
I am amazed at how many words are nearly identical.. to the words I know in English. This is a terrific course...thank you for all of your work in designing it and for the email feedback..and support! Muchas Gracias
