Paola and Sophia worked on Spanish language skills using the song "Monaco" by Bad Bunny. They used the Lyrics Training website to practice listening comprehension and discussed regional variations in Spanish pronunciation and slang. Paola recommended DeepL as a translation tool and planned to continue translating songs in the next session.

Paola and Sophia explored Mexican legends, which served as a rich context to enhance Sophia's Spanish reading and comprehension. They discussed tales like "La Llorona," "El Charro Negro," and "Callejón del Beso," focusing on pronunciation, translation, and their cultural significance. For her next lesson, Sophia was assigned homework to prepare and present a United States legend in Spanish.

Paola and Juscelia's English lesson focused on motivation, specifically distinguishing between intrinsic and extrinsic types. Following this, they delved into vocabulary relevant to retail sales positions. Juscelia gained practical experience by identifying different kinds of shops and expanding her lexicon related to sales and customer service. For future practice, Paola will provide Juscelia with materials for vocabulary and conversation exercises, including a role-play.

An instructor and a learner from Brooklyn College in Flatbush delved into Mexican legends, aiming to enhance Spanish comprehension and cultural awareness. They analyzed the structure, purpose, and cultural significance of these narratives, with "La Llorona" serving as a primary example. The lesson is set to continue exploring Mexican legends in the upcoming lesson.

Paola and a learner engaged in Spanish conversation, focusing on vocabulary related to hobbies, daily routines, and cultural topics. The learner, who calls Concord home, watched a short video clip in Spanish and was introduced to TED Ed videos as a learning resource. Paola suggested watching videos with Spanish subtitles to improve comprehension and planned to continue practicing with similar videos in future lessons.

Paola and Gleicy dedicated their recent English lesson to enhancing various skills. They practiced reading and pronunciation using the book "Lisa in China" and improved listening comprehension through music-based exercises featuring Celine Dion's "The Power of Love." Gleicy also worked on her pronunciation by singing karaoke to "Lemon Tree." As homework, she was assigned to practice daily routines in the simple present tense. Their next class is set for Monday at 4 p.m., where they will continue to focus on vocabulary, reading, writing, and speaking.
