Helpful Spanish training for teachers
What I think of the Spanish for Teachers training: 1. I think I'm reading and recognizing word easiest, then hearing them and recognizing what the words are second. Speaking it is the hardest part. 2. I don't think it's too fast. I go at my own pace. 3. I've only completed the first few units so far they are pretty helpful

Large numbers of my students were primarily Spanish speakers
Hi Adriana, Nice to hear from you. I took Spanish in High School and College. So although that was many years ago, I am remembering much of the basics. I also got a bit of a refresher this last year since large numbers of my students were primarily Spanish speakers with low levels of English fluency. To answer your questions: 1) Do you find it easy to retain the Spanish vocabulary you've learned so far? So far it is relatively easy to retain the vocabulary I'm learning. Some if it I know, but other parts are new to me, especially the school specific stuff. I am now writing the vocab I am learning in a notebook. The real test will be how much I retain in the Fall. 2) Do you feel you're learning the vocabulary and phrases you need? Yes. This is very helpful in terms of classroom terms and speaking on the phone to parents. In the past, I often relied on a script or phone translator. I like knowing some of the niceties, so I can be polite and respectful on the phone in particular as I want to have good relationships with students' parents. 3)Is the course going too fast or too slow for you? The course seems to be going at just the right speed. I like the self-paced aspect. Thankfully, I have lots of time to study during the summer.
