Learn Spanish through hands-on activities and cultural exposure with a tutor who adapts to you

Delicia and Michael engaged in a Spanish conversation lesson, primarily focusing on enhancing Michael's command of past tenses, specifically the preterite and imperfect, as well as his application of reflexive verbs. Their discussion also covered vocabulary pertinent to Michael's profession and some intriguing Argentinian superstitions. For homework, Michael was tasked with identifying scenarios where he would use the subjunctive mood, in preparation for their next lesson, and to review the distinctions between the preterite and imperfect tenses.

Delicia Vega led a comprehensive lesson where a student from Loyola University Chicago reviewed Spanish nouns, articles, and adjectives, with a particular focus on gender and number agreement. The learner actively engaged, practicing the identification of noun genders and the formation of plurals through various exercises. For homework, Delicia assigned exercises from the textbook and provided additional practice links on a shared document, specifically targeting definite articles.

During a Spanish conversation lesson, two individuals, including a student from Rancho Cucamonga High School, practiced discussing travel experiences in Australia and planning a trip to Brazil, complete with cultural events like Carnival. They also reviewed the imperfect and preterite tenses, and explored informal language and slang. No specific homework was assigned, but one of the learners was encouraged to continue practicing conversational Spanish.

Delicia and a student from William Floyd High School in Mastic Beach discussed Argentinian music and slang expressions. Delicia introduced the student to Argentinian artists like Rodrigo and bands playing Kumbia music, explaining their cultural significance. They also explored idioms like "culo y calzón" and "tupamedia," comparing them to English equivalents like "peas in a pod" and "brown noser."

Two learners practiced Spanish numbers, including cardinal and ordinal numbers, and discussed how to express dates in Spanish. One of the learners, a Roseland resident, focused on pronunciation and number formation, particularly with larger numbers and the placement of 'e'. They plan to continue with telling time in the next lesson and scheduled their next class for Monday.

Delicia and Matthew reviewed Spanish pronunciation rules, cognates, and digraphs. Matthew practiced vowel sounds and the pronunciation of challenging words, focusing on accent marks and regional variations. Delicia assigned reading the pronunciation guide in the textbook as homework and scheduled their next lesson to continue with the textbook material.
