Dynamic, skill-based Spanish learning with a University of Sheffield tutor focused on engagement

A Spanish lesson for a learner from Lake Los Angeles concentrated on essential verb conjugations, particularly 'ablar' and 'ir'. The focus also included vocabulary related to languages and places, alongside practical sentence formation. The learner actively practiced using 'ablar' to describe language speakers and started to grasp the conjugations of 'ir'. To prepare for the next lesson, they were assigned to memorize the 'ir' verb conjugations.

Darcy tutored Spencer in Spanish, focusing on the verbs 'tener' and 'vivir,' and introducing 'hablar.' Spencer actively practiced translating sentences and conjugating verbs, with Darcy providing corrections and explanations of verb endings. They also scheduled future lessons, adjusting the times to accommodate Spencer's work schedule.

The lesson began with a review of the verbs *ser* and *tener*, before moving on to conjugating *vivir* (to live) and using it to describe where people live. The learner, a resident of Modesto, also covered nationalities and adjective agreement. For practice, homework was assigned focusing on verb conjugations and nationalities. Looking ahead, the current lesson times will be maintained for the following week, with potential schedule adjustments for the two weeks after that.

During a recent Spanish lesson, a student from Oglethorpe University in Brookhaven focused on the verbs *tener* and *ser*. The learner reviewed expressing possession with *tener* and then delved into the conjugations of *ser* to describe origin, practicing sentences involving various countries. For homework, they need to memorize the conjugations of *ser*, country names, and the sentence "I am from England, but now I live in the United States" (*Soy de Inglaterra, pero ahora vivo en los Estados Unidos*).

Darcy and Spencer reviewed the verb "tener" and its conjugations, family vocabulary, and numbers 1-10 in Spanish. Spencer practiced constructing sentences about family members and pets. Darcy assigned review of the lesson notes as homework, and they scheduled the next two lessons.

Darcy and Spencer had their first official Spanish lesson, focusing on the verb "tener" (to have). Spencer practiced conjugations and simple sentences. Darcy recommended using Quizlet or flashcards for revision and assigned homework to review the conjugations of "tener" before the next lesson. Darcy also offered to help Spencer with a login issue for the next class.
