Los Caminos Felices

Can you feel the sweet breeze coming down the cold, stone walls? That means we're getting close to the exit of this cave!
Quickly, to the bridge!
 So as we wrap up the year, let's make sure you leave this school with a solid foundation for what's coming up next year:

Eight Grade:

Bienvenidos de Nuevo - Welcome Back!

It's almost been a month since this blog has seen an update. Let's check out what's going on in the old internet and perhaps we'll meet some people with a little more devotion to their little corner of the internet...

  • Vocabat is an AWESOME site that recounts the learning experiences of a young American woman named Katie who lived in Colombia for several years. Spanish is a part of her everyday life and she writes about culture clashes, misunderstandings, and confusing moments for a non-native speaker even after several years.
  • Notes in Spanish are the ongoing conversations between Ben, a former British subject who moved to Spain 10 years ago with very little knowledge of the language, and his wife Marina, a Madrid native. Listen to their slow-paced conversations and in-depth analysis for a real taste of authentic Spanish from its mother country, Spain.
  • Señora Hirschman's YouTube Channel is full of student projects and various songs from around the Spanish-speaking world and around the language learning spectrum. What a great resource for the curious learner.
I think it might be a neat idea to post some advice here on various aspects of language learning along with our normal vocabulary lists, grammatical points, and project rubrics. Anything you think might be of help?
