¡Buenos días y bienvenidos a la clase de Español! My name is Señor Espinoza and I have the privilege of teaching Spanish II and III this year. My classroom is located in room 4303 by Senior quad. My tutorials are in the mornings before school. The easiest and fastest way of contacting me is via email at fespinoza@puhsd.org
Advantages of a second language
Studies show that learning a second language results in students achieving greater divergent thinking, creativity, and cognitive development compared to monolingual children. Studies have also shown that when students learn a second language they have a tendency to outscore those who are proficient in only a single language on tests of nonverbal and verbal intelligence.
Spanish learning techniques
1. Practice, practice practice!! 2. Be patient. Learning a second language takes time and devotion 3. Find opportunities outside of class to listen and speak Spanish. Try watching Spanish tv, listening to Spanish radio, and speaking to friends in Spanish. 4. Make flash cards. Go to quia and classzone 5. Label your surroundings
