Spanish lessons with a UCES tutor focused on conversation, culture, and personal growth

Student and Tutor engaged in a Spanish language review session, practicing travel-related vocabulary through conversation. The main activity involved a multi-paragraph writing exercise where the Student composed a hotel review, applying preterite tense for past experiences and conditional tense for recommendations. The session concluded with a thorough review and correction of the written work, focusing on grammar, agreement, and spelling.

Student and Tutor reviewed the Spanish verbs 'Ser' and 'Tener', focusing on their application for describing physical characteristics, personality traits, and possessions. Student practiced describing various individuals, including family members and people in images, using new vocabulary for hair, height, build, and accessories. The session involved direct application of adjective agreement and verb conjugation, with the next class planned to continue exploring descriptions and professions.

The Tutor and Student reviewed Spanish grammar, focusing on the correct usage of past tenses and expanding vocabulary related to traffic and accidents.

The Student and Tutor thoroughly reviewed the usage of Spanish *Preterito Indefinido* and *Imperfecto* tenses through a story-writing exercise.

The plan is to complete the story exercise and introduce new vocabulary in the next session.
