Week 22 agosto 2011

Hola clases,

Week 2! Time is just flying by...

SPA111 Elementary Spanish 1 (both classes)
We will continue with Bienvenidos. I posted my Ghetto vocab and a youtube video to help with pronunciation. I will play with audio software, in case you want to download the sound to practice.

We will also start Grammar (YAY!). I'm attaching links to my notes.
Gender and Number of Nouns
Definite and Indefinite Articles
Subject Pronouns

SPA112 Elementary Spanish 2 (both classes)
We will continue with Survival Spanish. I posted my Ghetto vocab and a youtube video to help with pronunciation for Bienvenidos. I will play with audio software, in case you want to download the sounds to practice. Hopefully by the time class starts I will have posted the video, audio, and notes for the remaining sections in this Module.

We will review SER, and present tense conjugations next week. We will also go over "Los trabajos de la casa" and "Una fiesta de cumpleaños."

SPA111 Grammar Review

SPA211 Intermediate Spanish 1
Vamos a continuar nuestra discusión de Rosamunda. Hablamos de la estructura. También vamos a discutir la tarea.
SPA215 Spanish Phonetics
Please look over GRAFEMAS Y FONEMAS (graphemes and phonemes). Hopefully by the time we meet, I'll have a workstudy and I'll have our webpage updated.

Ciao,

    Carmen Laforet
    Barcelona 1921 - Madrid 2004

    "Si uno es escritor, escribe siempre, aunque no quiera hacerlo, aunque trate de escapar a esa dudosa gloria y a ese sufrimiento real que se merece por seguir una vocación." Carmen Laforet

    Pensé que podría estar interesado en estos artículos de la vida de Carmen Laforet.
